Answer
Even if the 2nd man didn't ejaculate, there is still semen present, and I can't rule out that he isn't the father.

If you get a 1st trimester ultrasound done, that should give you a clearer picture of when you actually got pregnant.  Without that information, it is impossible for me to speculate as to who is the father.

Sincerely,

Childbirth

I am also a mom of five children, and have various birth experiences myself, including unmedicated birth and a cesarean.
