Alright, heres the low down. I had sex with a guy on a thursday, had sex with a guy on a friday, then took the morning after pill saturday. Now Im pregnant. I'm starting to think the father is actully an exboyfriend from a while ago. What do yall think? (no moral lectures please).

The father could conceivably be any of the guys that you slept with during the time frame when you ovulated. You ovulate roughly half-way through your cycle so if this thursday/friday two guy thing happened around that time, then it is probably one of them. But if you ovulated earlier than then, it could be your ex-boyfriend, also keeping in mind that sperm can live inside the body for up to 5 days.
Now about the morning-after pill. It's only about 75% effective (3 of 4) and is most effective when taken within 72 hours, the longer you wait, the less effective it is. Also, if you have unprotected sex around the time you ovulate, it's much more likely that you will get pregnant than if you had unprotected sex at the beginning or end of your cycle. It would have probably been most effective against the friday sex, though who's to say the guy wasn't just especially fertile!
Now pin-pointing the father. Remember the number of weeks you are pregnant(if you are say 6 weeks) dates back to the date of your last period, not the conception date. So if the day of your last period was April 1, then on April 29 you would be 4 weeks pregnant and probably would have conceived somewhere near the middle of the month. (assuming you have a 28 day cycle) Any guy you have slept with during that time frame(give or take a week or so) could be the baby's father. See a doctor, they should be able to tell how far along you are (roughly) by dating back to your period and looking at your HcG(pregnancy hormone) levels. Later, when you have an ultrasound, they may be able to be more precise about the age of the fetus.
A DNA test after the baby's birth should clear up any confusion regarding paternity. Hope everything turns out OK, good luck :)

As long as you take the morning after pill within 72 hours (but preferably within the first 24) of having unprotected sex you are protecting yourself. Although, it is not 100% gguaranteed you will not become pregnant, it's your best shot after having unprotected sex. EDIT: The morning after pill is almost chemically identical to the birth control pill and does NOT become less effective the more you take it... Or our birth control pills would to. It's a hormone.

Sometimes they can pinpoint the exact date you conceived. If they can't, you may have to just wait and do a paternity test when the baby is born.
I'm not sure if you're asking if the morning after pill will terminate your pregnancy...if you are, the answer is no. It is not a form of abortion and it will not terminate an existing pregnancy. It will only prevent a pregnancy from occuring.

Well, do your dates coincide to that week. Because out of the two days, you could only get pregnant once. Maybe the conception dated back further than that. (Get condoms)
