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.

As far as the same exclusion snp example we've received this is what ddc responded :


                                The reason that this information is reported on multiple reports is that these are common locations that occur in almost every test we perform.   The data is an example of how Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) can be used to determine paternity. The loci associated with the actual SNP data, amount the 2,688 proprietary SNPs examined are not listed.

DDC Client Service Team



I understand that the snps tested are not shown and that what we got was an example although I'd still like to see my actual tested snps. I did respond asking if that would be possible I'll keep you all updated.

Update too anyone following since I did say I would come back with a update I had my baby about a week ago baby arrived earlier then predicted. I do believe DDC got it right my baby figures my parter in alot of ways even color in eyes which ONS did not have though it can not be fully confirmed since there will not be another test done unless some type of doubt comes. Any other updates will let you ladies know Wish you guys all the best with your situations.

Was it someone who was generally sure everything lined up with dates and etc. and was just anxious, or was it someone who had gotten a result she thought was wrong?
