Question
My due date is March 29, 2012. My estimated LMP was June 23 2011. I had sex with a on june 26- july 9 i had sex with b on july 18. Whos is the father? Im so scared i realy want a to be the father but what do you think?

Answer
Chiara,

Based on the information you provided, you most likely conceived around July 7th, making it very unlikely that B is the father unless you have very, very long cycles (around 39 days in length) and ovulate late each month.  If you have regular cycles around 28-35 days in length, then A is more likely to be the father.

If I had to put money on it, A would be my clear choice.
