Anon,

Because you had a period on Jan. 18, and it was regular, then you could not have gotten pregnant with your ex. So the unprotected sex with your boyfriend the next would have been when you were ovulating, and when you got pregnant.

Congratulations on the pregnancy; do you feel ok about it?

I would think that the 5 weeks pregnant would include the 2 weeks between your first day of your cycle and your ovulation... Depending on when you took your pregnancy tests, I would say that you definitely got pregnant with yuor current boyfriend... not your ex! Especially with your normal perdio you got on Jan. 18th...
You are fine!

Susan and Diane have offered great advice and information. It is important to get the DNA test done and as scary as it may be-- come clean with both men. It is best to do it now to prepare them for the possibility of them NOT being the father than to go 9 months allowing them to believe that they are the father of a child that may or may not be theirs.

If you are being physically or emotionally abused in either relationship or you fear that harm may be done to your or your baby when coming clean, please call 1-800-799-7233 for help.

Im in the same boat as you, i have told the more understanding guy that i may be having his baby and he took it very well... But with the other man, i know he wont take it well, i believe he will just leave and never give me a chance to explain... So i would like to know how you went about this situation as it may help me with what i can do... I cant talk to anyone else about this as i will just get judged... Your not alone, there are plenty of poeple that goes through this, well that's what i keep telling myself...

I know the feeling. Im 6 weeks pregnant and have two potential fathers. The other man knows what is going on but my on and off boyfriend has no clue. I know I need to tell him. I want to get a prenatal paternity test done but I also have mixed feelings about doing that.

Thanks for sharing your story, and I am sorry that you are going through this difficult situation.

- Why do you have mixed feelings about having a prenatal paternity test done?
- What does the "other man" think about his possibility of being a father, and also does he want to know if he is the biological father?
- Have you talked with your OB/GYN about your options?

Hope to hear back from you soon!

I would not know what to tell you because i have never been in that kind of situation. I am having a irregular period but i believe i am pregnant. The best thing that i could tell you is tell both of the them that you was cheating on them. Also, have a DNA test done when the baby is born

Anon, so sorry you're dealing with this situation.

Have you told each of the men that you're pregnant and that there's a possibility they are the father?

In addition to the excellent information Susan gave you, I want to encourage you to tell them NOW. It shouldn't come as a big surprise to them since they were having unprotected sex with you. You can figure out the easiest way to tell each one.

Are you afraid of their responses? Or are these good people who will likely do the right thing by you?
