Answer 1

Honey there is really no exact way of knowing, an ultrasound is your best bet, it all comes done to when that baby comes out and even then they can't know the exact conception date. The only advice I can give you is to tell your man that, and tell him that if he really feels he can't trust you that he should fork out the $300-$400 for a paternity test, I told my husband that with our first child and he decided his little insecurity wasn't worth that kind of money, and I think your man will agree.

Answer 2

First, the pull out method is a sure way to get pregnant because it never works. Why you ask because there is more often than not a drop or two of clear fluid at the tip of the penis that appears before ejaculation, which contains sperm. This may surprise you but It only takes one sperm to unite with the egg for pregnancy to occur, ejaculation isn't always necessary.

Second, If your doctor is too busy to sit and talk to you about your concerns especially during this critical time then i would suggest that is time you get a new doctor.

Your doctor should give you an estimate on when your baby is due, generally babies are either one week early or one week late.

It is interesting that your boyfriend have concerns about your due day and the possible date of conception. This only brings to mind one theory and that is possibly that he is questioning the paternity of the baby. Question is, does he have reason to?

Make another appoinment with your doctor and ask him for the due date of your child, or simply ask to see your chart it should be noted there. Your chart is about you and you have the right to view its contents.

Answer 3

You can't know the exact date because there is no way to tell when you ovulated (and thus became pregnant) Your doctor can give you an estimate, just like we can, but there is a two week window either way. The only way to know paternity is to take a test, which you should talk to your doctor about. The ultrasound is usually the best way to judge how old a baby actually is, but keep in mind... if your best friend grew three inches before you did in third grade, its not because she was older than you are. Baby's just like kids grow at different speeds, its not as big of a difference, but if you are trying to pin down an exact day, its impossible. Get a paternity test if you are unsure.

Answer 4

Ultrasounds are very accurate in the first trimester. Here's how it works though--it doesn't matter how long your period lasts, the only day that matters is the first day of your last period...most women ovulate 12-14 days after the FIRST day of their LAST period. That is when conceptions occurs, however, figuring due dates is a funny thing, because the first day of your last eperiod is actually the first day of your pregnancy in doctor land. SO the first day that you were considered pregnant as far as determining your due date is January 1st, so your due date is exactly 40 weeks after that, in other words, January 8th ws the start of your second week and January 15th was the start of your third week...etc...so count it forward on your calendar up to 40. (And the date you probably got pregnant assuming you ovulate as an average woman would be approximately January 13th thru January 17th)

Answer 5

Though pregnancy begins at implantation, it is often convenient to date from the first day of a woman's last menstrual period. Due dates are only a rough estimate, and the process of accurately dating a pregnancy is complicated by the fact that not all women have 28 day menstrual cycles, or ovulate on the 14th day following their last menstrual period. In practice, doctors typically express the age of a pregnancy (i.e. an "age" for an embryo) in terms of "menstrual date" based on the first day of a woman's last menstrual period, as the woman reports it. Unless a woman's recent sexual activity has been limited, the exact date of fertilization is unknown.

Answer 6

Well, the date your doctor gave you should be accurate. The length of your period shouldn't have any relation, since the entire medical establishment assumes all women have a 28 day menstrual cycle with a 7 day period.

There are paternity tests available that are more than 98 percent accurate, if he doesn't believe you. Remember, if he skips town, you can demand child support even if he denies it is his (the courts can order paternity tests too).

If you only had one partner, he should believe you. For the record, though, pulling out is a TERRIBLE method of birth control. The secretions made before ejaculation actually have more sperm than ejaculate does, so even if he pulled out before he came it was probably too late.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Answer 7

You don't need to go through all that why do we feel the need to stress ourselves over these stupid guys if your doctor gave you a date then that 's the date.The doctor gave you a date based on the information that you gave him.I had a due date for Oct.17 and my daughter was born on Sept. 17 and my last period was the first week of January.My daughter wasn't even premature although she weighed 5 pounds and 5 ounces she was able to come home and my boyfriend didn't dare try that sh*t about her not being his baby.These babies come when they are ready to come.

Answer 8

1. The "Pull-out" method of birth control DOES NOT work! I'm assumming that you are 18...were you asleep during sex education?

2. You can have your cycle and be pregnant at the same time.

3. My calculations were about the same as yours...but it can be from last week of December to January 16thish.

Answer 9

If it started on Jan 1, you should have ovulated around day 14. Sperm live 72 hours, so if you slept with your boyfriend if 2 days before, you could get pregnant. The pullout method does not have a 100% success rate. So tell your boyfriend to get over it and offer him to pay for a blood test if he wants. You have nothing to hide. If he refuses, there's always child support. A judge will force him to take one and pay for it. As for your doctor, make him listen to you. They are always in a hurry. You pay for his services. He needs to listen to you. see babycenter.com for a pregnancy calculator. Very helpful tips for pregnancy and aftercare.

Answer 10

There is no way to get an exact date, even doctor's can only give an estimation. As for your man not thinking it's his. If you know that it is his, and only his, stick to your guns and when the child is born, have a blood test done to prove it to him so there is no doubt. Good luck and best wishs.
