Last year in October i had my cycle but i can't remember the exact date, well i slept with my boyfriend the early part of october, well we broke up and i slept with my friend the last week of october the 28th to be exact. I went to the doctor and had an u/s on december the 3rd , the u/s read that i was 7 weeks and 2 days and my EDC was July 15th, well my doctor moved my due date to july 19th and she moved it back to the original due date July 13th, i went into labor on July 10th. How can i tell who the dad is, i have counted back from my u/s and everything. I need help

It is most likely from sex in the last days of October. The ultrasound was likely the most accurate. Even if that date was off a bit, it will still be late October.

ok so when i count back 7 weeks and 2 days it does not put me to the end of october it always put me with or around my boyfriend, i came on my cycle the early week of october so how can that be that the other guy is the dad. I spotted nov. 7th when i ask the doctor they said i was concieved on the 17-19th of october.

The difference might be in terminology.

Gestational age can be from an estimated date of your last period (40 week calendar) or from conception (normally ovulation date)(38 week calendar).

From what you explained they used the ovulation based gestational age. That means that 7weeks 2 days before Dec 3 you ovulated (or within one or two days). That will mean that Oct 14 is the date for ovulation that they worked from. Sex withing the 3 or 4 days before October 14 to one day past could have done it.

These dates can move a few days to either side.

ok so your saying that i got pregnant in the middle of october not the end of october , because i really want it to be my ex- bf not the guy who i slept with on the 29th of october. Could it be that i am pregnant by my bf because my son is lookin a little like him i do believe

well, I just did a due date calculator, and used October 29th as your conception date, and its saying that your babys due date is estimated to be late july. So I would put my vote on the friend in late october. But it really does depend on what date you slept with the ex boyfriend.
