Hallow Dear,
The very fact that you had menses at the end of July; i.e. after the intercourse in July 2013, this intercourse cannot lead to the pregnancy. After that incidence, since August 2013, you are having on going sexual relations with your husband and no one else. So the father of the baby will be your husband only. The guy with whom you had sex in July cannot be the father of the child.
Still, for legal purpose or for your own satisfaction you may opt for DNA test which will confirm the paternity issue.
I hope this helps you.
