Q: Paternity w/o DNA test
asked by: Leele on March 15th, 2008

My first day of my last menstruation period was August 12, 2007. I had sex with two different men on August 16 and 20 with an old friend then I had sex again with my present boyfriend on August 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. My present boyfriend however did withdraw it during those times and my old friend didn't. My longest cycle is 28 days and shortest is 27 days. My first check-up was Sept. 30 and the fetus doesn't have a heartbeat yet. Can I say for sure that the father of my child is my present boyfriend without doing dna test. I just don't want to complicate things right now I just need a peace of mind.

if your current bf did not finish inside you, then probably your old bf would be the father of your child..but to be 100% sure a dna test would clear all that up
and just wondering, is that a typo for the last day of your period-August 12, 2007..if it supposed to be 2008 because your baby should have a heart beat and that would make you 7 months pregnant. just wondering

Yeah I am 7 mos pregnant now and no it's not a typo.
August 12, 2007 was my first day of my lmp and on Sept. 30, 2007 was my first check-up and the fetus doesn't have a heartbeat yet during that time. My obgyne told me I am 4 weeks pregnant on Sept. 30, 2007 coz of the absence of the heartbeat. I think the fetus will start to have a heartbeat on his 5th week. I 'm really not sure. DNA test is not an option for me my bf doesn't know about this.

o lol sorry just realized what i asked duh!
thats what happened to me too when i went to the doctors cuz i was concerned with some light spotting i was having but they said everything was fine and did an ultrasound and said i was around 4 weeks. but i have heard the heart beating now during doctors appointment its so amazing!
your 7 months now, your baby should have a heart beat now.
if you cant detect one now, and your 7 months, there could be something wrong.

A DNA test is the only way you would be 100% sure, i mean dont take my word on it, for all i know i could be wrong with what i said. If your bf that your with now is really into you, he will understand that it was a mistake, you learned from it and it wont happen again. that is your only option.

The baby inside me now is so active and on my 2nd check up last october 2007 he already has a heartbeat, everything is fine with my baby. Yeah I know that dna test would clear all my agony but I just can't do it right now or in the near future. My boyfriend is so excited with our son I just hope that this baby is his.

dont you think putting it off will just built on that agony your feeling?
i know this is a hard thing to be thinking and dealing with, not from personal experience, but if i were in your situation, i would rather get it out and in the open.
Stress isnt the best during pregnancy. And even though this is tough, it would show your being completely open and honest with your boyfriend.
Did you say your ex was the one who finished inside you,
and your present boyfriend did not finish inside you?
If that is the case, i would have to say that your old bf is probably the father, but honestly hun, a DNA test doesnt hurt anyone. If your new bf is really excited and happy, no matter what the outcome, i bet he would still want to continue to be in your life and your childs.
