Q: determining who fathered child

I'm an American living in Belize and have a friend that's pregnant. Her last period was April 22. On May 24th she had sex and on May 30th wtih 2 different men, neither of them ejaculated inside of her and neither wore condoms. On the 3rd she had a blood test, it was negative so the Dr. wrote a perscription for a hormone injection that was given the same day. Her period was suppose to come 1-5 days later. Today is day 5 and she's freaking out. Is it possible to tell who the father would be? Would an ultra sound be able to see 6 days apart? Can the zygote have a blood test? We're in Belize so we don't have fancy equiptment, any suggestions on how to tell who may have fathered this child?

that close together the ONLY way to tell is to wait and see if there is even a baby, and when it comes out, have a dna test, I know it sound silly, but that close together, unless the docs are amazing with the edc (estimated day of conception) then youll probably have to wait and see.

If she just had sex on May 24 and May 30, it is too early to test for pregnancy at this point. Her last sexual encounter was only a little over a week ago.
If I were in this situation, I would just try to relax (as much as possible when worrying about pregnancy) and just wait a week or so and retest with her first morning's urine.
If that is still negative, it is likely she is not pregnant.
Then is the time to see a doctor.

There is no way to tell who a child's father is before it is born. The ONLY way to know for sure is DNA testing-which can be done with a cotton swab in the child's cheek.

I would recommend that your friend get some condoms and use protection. Pregnancies aren't nearly as hard to deal with as a deadly or lifelong sexually transmitted disease.
