DDC NIPT does it ever get easier

I had my doubts about paternity I conceived in JUNE LMP 6/2 I have 28-30 cycles....
I had intercourse with partner A 6/14 6/17 partner B 6/19 4am(so 6/20?) and partner A 6/21 partner A finished all 3 times and partner b pulled out.....
I was sure it was partner A's till my first scans started dating me for most probable ovulation 6/20-6/21 and it freaked me out beyond words
I got partner B to do DDC's NIPT with me on 8/27 got my results 9/18 which excluded him I was beyond happy now two weeks later I want to trust my results but recent false positives from two other females online have made me question my test....
I contacted DDC and due to my uncertainty they offered to review my results and if any questionable circumstances arise they would retest but I don't think I can get partner B to redo it for me I hope that is not the case....
as you can imagine im in a relationship which was rocky at that time and I just can find the courage to tell my partner about my doubts I hope my results are accurate and that when I hold my baby in march that he will look like his father.... it feels like a reoccurring nightmare mentally I want to be happy and not stress about this mistake anymore but its hard ive met enough supportive ladies here also which help distract me and help me want to trust my results but id lie if at the end of the day i could say i didn't still worry.

"Conception date" when counting from an ultrasound (if the ultrasound is early enough in the pregnancy to be useful for this purpose) is the day the sperm meets the egg and it becomes an embryo.  An egg is only viable for 24-36 hours.  But sperm can hang around for 5 days waiting for the egg to make an appearance, it does not become non-viable as fast as an egg does.  This is why someone can have sex on January 1 and conceive on January 5 -- the ovulation in that case would be on the 4th or 5th, and the waiting sperm from January 1 fertilize the egg.  But it doesn't work the other way around.  If someone ovulates on January 1, she will only have 36 hours from that point, before her egg is not going to work any more if it hasn't been fertilized.

Mine look just like yours too. I didn't mention it because I had already asked DDC prior too that because I seen a girl post a copy of her results and everything looked the same from fetal Dna too mothers.So I freaked out of course I called and asked them since I noticed when someone had posted a copy of there results and it looked just like mine (fetal dna , mothers dna,  everything) and they said there just examples of the snps they looked at and I simply just left it at that.
Please let us know what there response is too you? Im starting too worry.

Hi girls I want to say that I came across an explanation of how they decode DNA sequences pretty much they use the same lettering AA TT CC GG are the most common they look for that pattern in our blood and the babies and the fathers our babies will get one letter from us and one from the father.... The thing is they have to match to be considered inclusion of the sequence does not match the partners are excluded I'm sure since they run so many snps they must have a computer pick up the matches or

Yes we went to a local random company dr choice first that "all work went to a lab then sent to Ddc"

But if we pay 1500$ dollars for a test .. Why isn;t our genes the ones we get back ... This cause lots of questions definitely do to the timing and the same drawing issues.
