If your last menstruation began 9/3, your cycle is regular, and your cycle lasts 28 days... then your ovulation date was around the 17th of September. There is greater possibility that you became pregnant from your actual boyfriend than from your ex boyfriend. But remember, THIS IS ONLY A POSSIBILITY!!! The real father can be determined only with a genetic examination (a blood test) of both potential fathers and the child, which is recommended if you want to know for sure who the father is.
