Question

I had my period on December 28, 2017, and had sexual intercourse with my ex-boyfriend on January 7. Then, I had my period again on January 29, and that day, I took birth control pills and progesterone. Now, it has been beyond the expected time for my last menstrual period. I want to know if this child is related to my ex-boyfriend. Can you help me calculate this, please?

Answer

Based on your description, the estimated due date should be calculated from the start of your last menstrual period, which is 40 weeks. Since you had your period again on January 29, the due date should be calculated from that point. As for whether the child is related to your ex-boyfriend, since you haven’t seen him since January 7, it can be inferred that the child is not related to him. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, maintain hygiene, avoid strenuous exercise, and keep up with regular prenatal check-ups.
