On January 14th I slept with a close friend (according to my period tracker this was ovulation day)
On January 28th I think i had a bit of a period but i was wearing period underwear for the first time and it seemed lighter but didnt suspect a pregnancy. ( i didnt pay much attention to the situation)

(Late January I started a relationship with my current partner)
We slept on the 5th, 9th, 10th of february - my ovulation date estimate was 11th
On the 28th of February, I was 3 days late and had a positive pregnancy test with a very strong line. I also had like pink spotting for 2 days before I was due on.

If i was pregnant in January with close friend that would put me at 9 weeks.

If I was pregnant in February that would put me at 5 weeks with my partner.

Is it possible if I went to an early dating scan they could tell me how many weeks along I am?
Id pay for a private scan.
How accurate are these considering theres about 4 weeks difference in possible conception dates.

Early dating scans are pretty accurate. There’s a big difference between a 5 and a 9 week embryo. I don’t think you will have any trouble working out who the father is. Best of luck with it all.

Four weeks difference will be very clear on a dating scan.

It would be very obvious on a dating scan whether you were 5 or 9 weeks. And they’re very accurate.
Good luck 💛

The light period could have been bleeding from implantation. A dating scan will definitely be able to yo tell you. There’s private providers everywhere you can probably get an appointment today or tomorrow

acorncrush · 06/03/2026 05:58

Yes they would be able to tell you, a 5 week scan would be very different to a 9 week scan.

CarbonArtist · 06/03/2026 06:04

Go NHS if you can OP, private providers are not properly regulated.

At 5 weeks it'll be the tiniest little dot on the screen, and by 9 weeks you'll be able to make out the silhouette of baby's head and body.

You can have lighter periods at the beginning of pregnancy or it can implantation. Or it could just be a period. You will be find it easier to work out now than later down the line.

I’m certain a dating scan will give you accurate information. Do both of these men know you were ovulating when you had unprotected sex with them?

They also had unprotected sex with her when they actively chose not to wear condoms.

Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. That wasn’t my question though.

Why do you need to ask that question though? Why do you need to be so judgemental?!

Did you get the scan? As a PP said now is the best time to do it as the further along you are the harder it will be to distinguish when exactly the pregnancy started. As early as possible is your best chance, especially at only 5 weeks it should be really clear. It won’t be later.

Yes I went today and found out I was 5 weeks

UPDATE I went for the ultrasound and they said it was a really early pregnancy at 5 weeks

Definitely your new partner then! Hopefully that's what you wanted.

Where did you go for this date scan please? I’m guessing it was a private scan?
