I started my period august 1st and was done august 6th. On my calendar it said i was fertile august 12th- august 16th and i ovulated on the 17th the next day. I had sex august 13th and had sex a week later on august 20th by somebody else. The next day i Had a white Milky discharge. I found out that i was pregnant is it possible the second person can be the father?

Hello,
It has already been possible to determine paternity during pregnancy using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, the same medical procedures used to test a fetus for Down syndrome.
But those procedures are invasive and carry a small risk of inducing a miscarriage, so they are rarely used for paternity testing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
