Hello everyone.

I am a single woman who found out I was pregnant on May 29th. 3 tests, very dark lines. LMP is April 26th. I am usually regular and have between a 25-27 day cycle.

I have been sleeping with the same guy regularly for some months, guy A. We slept together unprotected on May 8th pull out. But i’m like, 95% he didn’t fully pull out. I know I should have gotten a plan b.

May 17th, I had a ONS with my ex husband, guy B. He pulled out. In the 10 years we’ve known eachother, we used the pull out method and the only time we ended up pregnant was the one time we didn’t pull out 6 years ago.

I started feeling cramping and sore boobs near May 21st, extremely sore by the 25th. My period was projected to start the 24th so I assumed it was PMS symptoms at first.

I already have ordered a prenatal paternity dna test, can’t take it for a couple more weeks. Both guys are aware of the situation, both guys want the baby.

Im just looking to see if anyone had similar dates and what the results for conception were? My app says I ovulated around May 8-10 which would put it exactly with guy A. What are the chances though that I ovulated 8 days later on 17th and already felt symptoms 5-7 days past the 17th with guy B?

Sorry for the long post

In this situation I’d be pretty much certain it is A’s baby. If you usually have a 25-27 day cycle you’d have ovulated May 8th-12th, sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days but the egg doesn’t hang around for more than 24 hours so A’s sperm would have been there waiting for it, B would have been days too late for the egg.
