Question
I am very stressed out about this but I really need to know when I concieved. I don't remember when my last period was but I had a ultrasound that said I was 18 weeks and due june 24th. The dr believes my LMP was sept 17th. What days could I have ovulated? I had sex with my Boyfriend all of sept and the 1st of oct but made a mistake and slept with my ex on the 2nd of october! Please help!!! Thankyou!
It looks like you conceived early October. Unfortunately, because you slept with two different men around that time, either one could be the father. The only way to tell for sure would be to have a paternity test done after the birth.
I'm sorry that I can't give you any reassuring news.

As a certified childbirth educator and birth doula, I can answer questions dealing with preparing for birth, childbirth classes, pregnancy, what happens during labor and birth, doulas, VBAC, natural childbirth, cesarean birth, interventions in labor, labor, birth, helping someone through labor, concerns or fears about labor and birth, doulas, breastfeeding, and other topics dealing with pregnancy, labor, and birth.
Experience
Since 2004, I have taught childbirth education classes focused on helping couples gain confidence, make decisions for their birth, and give them tools for helping them get the birth they want. Since 2004, I have also attended births in local hospitals as a birth doula (as of 8/10, I have attended 120 births) so I am able to see firsthand what is working in helping couples deal with labor. I am also a mom of five children, and have various birth experiences myself, including unmedicated birth and a cesarean.
