Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I have read the query and according to the sequence of events described by you, it is most likely your husband who is the father of the child.
You had intercourse with your husband in the most fertile period of the menstrual cycle that is in between 10-17th day of the cycle where usually the ovum is released at around 14th day of the cycle and the pregnancy test reports are to supporting the time of conception.
There is a slight chance of pregnancy even in the late menstrual period or secretory stage if the cycles are irregular (normal cycle:28-32 days with 4-5 days of menstrual period). So,its always better to use protection than being unsure.In your case,you had intercourse with the other person at the end of secretory stage of your cycle where the chances of pregnancy are minimal.
In case of doubt you can carry out certain blood testing which requires blood sample of you partner too to confirm the paternity.
Hope this answers the query.
Feel free to ask any further doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Tushar Tamboli
