The dates are so close that there's really no way to tell at this point. Firstly, the date of conception could be off. Early ultrasounds are fairly accurate, but could still be off by a week in either direction. There's also the fact that just because you had sex on said dates, it doesn't mean that you actually conceived on those dates. Sperm is said to be able to stay fertile inside of you for up to a week. I know that my estimated date of conception (based on the early ultrasound) didn't match up with any of the dates I'd had sex. The closest date was 5 days previously.
At this point there's alot of questions you need to ask yourself. Would the other man be a good father? Would your boyfriend be a good father? Do you and your boyfriend want a definite answer as to the paternity, or are the two of you willing to just raise this child without ever finding out? I wouldn't recommend keeping the secret, if your boyfriend ever finds out from someone other than yourself he's bound to be very upset and feel betrayed, and the betrayal could very easily reflect on how he feels about the child. Let him know (if he doesn't already know), and have a talk together as to what the two of you want. Good luck, and don't worry about what other people think of the situation, we've all made mistakes in our lives. The ones who judge you based on your mistakes are generally people who haven't learned from their own.

Ovulation is not a precise science, and ultasound technology can only estimate fetal age, not say for certain, so no tech or ob/gyn would recommend using ultrasound as a way of assessing paternity, unless the events of intercourse took place a long time apart - say a month or more.
The only way you are going to know for sure is to wait until the baby is born - if it is obvious by the look of the baby (for example, if the fathers were of different racial groups) then that may help, but otherwise you may have to obtain a DNA test which can be done painlessly by collecting cell samples doing a swab from the baby's inner cheek, your inner cheek, and the inner cheek of the potential father(s).
Sorry I can't offer a more positive answer.

you're slightly puzzling asserting which you had ultrasounds at 6, 20, 24 and 34 weeks once you're additionally asking if that's achievable that that's a 14 week previous fetus. How might you have had each and all of the ultrasounds AFTER 14 weeks already? that would not make experience. different than for that and to respond to your question. 4 weeks is a huge distinction and at that early degree the fetus grows so without postpone that distinction is exceptionally plenty impossible. i've got been informed by utilising my OBGYN that an early united statesis nearer to 2 days + or - 4 on the main. I got here approximately to understand with my modern-day being pregnant the right day I conceived and by utilising the united statesmeasurements they informed me the right comparable day. by utilising the time the toddler is born you could nicely be in courtroom having to circulate throughout the paternity try besides the shown fact that that's nevertheless slightly early, do no longer enable them to enable you realize which you ought to threat the being pregnant/toddler/your self and have it achieved by utilising amniocentisis. it is going to likely be a alleviation which you could coach that's no longer his because of the fact it appears like that's the final ingredient you like. He appears like an undesirable guy or woman if he's acquainted with that's no longer his and desires to place you thru that kind of rigidity. he's in all probability jealous of your companion and can't safeguard his very own subjects approximately it. Thank goodness you're no longer with him anymore. terrific needs to you.

I know a girl who was in your identical predicament. Here's the bottem line: there's no definate way of knowing who your baby's father is without a DNA test. The ultrasound cannot determine accurately your date of conception when you slept with two different guys so close together. It can be off by like 2 or even 3 weeks.
Here's my suggestion: when you have your baby, see if the state you live in provides free DNA testing. The girl I know had it done for free through her state's child support department.
There's also private companies that do it, but that can get really expensive. I've heard it's like $400, but just google DNA testing and see what you come up with.

If the ultrasound is correct on the fetal age, it would almost have to be your boyfriend.
But, although ultrasounds are very accurate at that stage, they can still be off by a couple of days. Which opens up the possibility that it could be either one.
The only way you'll know for sure is to get a paternity test.

This is going to be a hard thing to determine. You are going to have to be honest with your BF if he does not already know, and share the fact that he MAY not be the father.
I would need to know the first day of your last cycle in order to get a close enough date of ovulation...otherwise you are going to need to do a paternity test after the baby is here to find out who the real father is.
Best wishes, share your pregnancy with other moms, we won't belittle you for your mistake, we just have a lot of information about pregnancy and others are pregnant, me I am in the TTC section still...but you are welcome to be our member

It is probably your boyfriend, but the only way to know for sure is a paternity test.
