General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The first gentleman with whom you had unprotected sex on Friday seems to be the 'proud' father of your unborn child which however needs to be confirmed by more specific paternity test.

A woman is usually able to get pregnant for about 5 days each month, when ovulation occurs. On average, ovulation occurs 12 to 16 days before the menstrual period begins. Because sperm can live for 3 to 5 days in a woman's reproductive tract, it is possible to become pregnant if intercourse occurs several days before ovulation.

So, the first gentleman seems to be the father of your unborn child.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
