When who gives you the date? The doctor
or the u/s tech? Going by your last
menstrual cycle isn't always necessarily
accurate. Ultrasounds in the first
trimester however are extremely accurate
especially between 6 - 8 weeks measuring
the crl not the sac. They are accurate
within +/- 4 days and after 8 weeks they
are accurate by about +/- 3-5 days on the
date of conception.
Conception is the day the sperm meets the
egg. So from that conception date you
could have gotten pregnant from having sex
3-5days before your conception date.
Does that help ya at all?

Yes I think so.
I was just wondering becasue I had sex
with a guy and then 2 weeks later with
another and now I am paranoid that I might
be pregnant. So would it be easy to tell
who the father was if I happen to be
pregnant?

2 weeks difference should be pretty easy
to tell, are you going to get an
ultrasound done to date the pregnancy?
See exactly how far along you are? I
recommend you do that as soon as possible
if you are pregnant. That'll give you a
really really good idea on who the father
is :) good luck hun

Depends on your conception date. Easy?
Probably not. But possible, I guess.

I don't feel that the conception date was
accurate in my case. In fact I know that
it wasn't. Trust me, I was there. It
was actually 11 days off.

There is no percise and accurate wya to
really know when the egg and spermed met
but usually a u/s will give you a close
approx. Of that day. I knew which few
days I concieved but I can't be 100% which
one in particular it is.
