XXXXXXX 12 was first day of last period. Sex with guy 1 was day 8 of cycle. No inside ejaculation. Sex with guy 2 was day 17 of cycle. There was inside ejaculation. Cycles are regular between 28 and 30 days. Ultrasound 1 done 2/25 showed 5 weeks 5 days. Ultrasound 2 done 3/1 showed 8 weeks 3 days.

Brief Answer:
Please confirm the facts, perhaps double check the dates because not all of them are making sense
Detailed Answer:
So here are the facts:
1. LMP = 1/12, his would give a due date of 10/19, conception = 1/26
2. Ultrasound 2/25 = 5 5/7wk, due date of 10/23, conception 1/30
3. Ultrasound 3/1 = 8 3/7 wks, due date of 10/8, conception 1/15
4. Guy1 = day 8 of cycle (1/19), no ejaculation
5. Guy2 = day 17 of cycle (1/28), ejaculation
Please check my dates on the dates of intercourse because we might be counting the cycle differently. I find it very confusing that the two ultrasound disagree by as much as they do - this does not make sense. Please double check how I have listed things here and confirm or correct.
Let me know accordingly.

I am so sorry. The second ultrasound was done march 1 and dated pregnancy at 6 weeks 3 days not 8 weeks 3 days. Thanks for catching that and I look forward to your answer.

Brief Answer:
Guy#2 seems the father based on the information that you gave
Detailed Answer:
Sorry about the delay. So here are the new facts:
1. LMP = 1/12, his would give a due date of 10/19, conception = 1/26
2. Ultrasound 2/25 = 5 5/7wk, due date of 10/23, conception 1/30
3. Ultrasound 3/1 = 6 3/7 wks, due date of 10/2, conception 1/ 29
4. Guy1 = day 8 of cycle (1/19), no ejaculation
5. Guy2 = day 17 of cycle (1/28), ejaculation
So the LMP AND both ultrasounds support conception in late January. The LMP is NOT as accurate as the ultrasounds. The most accurate ultrasound is the first one (and the second one agrees almost perfectly with it). The 'window' within which conception occurred, thus, is 1/27-2/2. This completely rules out Guy1. Guy2 seems the father in this case.
I hope this helps

Thank you. When you say "completely rules out guy1," does that mean there's 0% chance? Should I do a third ultrasound to see if theres three matching ultrasounds? I'm very stressed about this and I need some resssurance so I appreciate your understanding in advance.
Brief Answer:
No one will commit to 100%
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Given that Guy1 was a full 8 days prior to the 'window' of conception which is based on your LMP AND two ultrasounds AND you state that he did not ejaculate - and you are 100% certain, without a doubt, that he did NOT ejaculate, then he is 100% not the father of the baby.
