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.

Hi Annie that is correct she has tested after birth with a different company and her results were the same as DDCs (inclusion)

Hi, 201603, what does "we had a case tested" mean?  Who had the case tested?  Are you saying that someone who has written on this thread who was worried that the results were inaccurate has since had her baby and tested again, and found out that the result was accurate?

Updating to anyone following

We had a case tested and given an inclusion through DDC she has since confirmed accuracy of her results after birth...

my results were given to me with in 8/9 business days later when at the time it stated 20 business days wait time ( they had recently changed the 5-10 business day wait time they had prior)

My timing was a mess its just because I wasn't able to do it early on in the week that I hoped that Thursday 8/27 afternoon's draw would make it to the lab on time but my samples didn't get overnighted until Friday after 3 pm (fedex times) and probably sat in the ware house over the weekend on Monday 8/31 I got a call that only my sample has coagulated and that I needed to redraw so I rescheduled 9/8 I got my results 9/18.

I will girl I even screen shotted the ones I had from other girls .... I was panicking then I had to go back and read the confirmed post birth test forum to calm myself down I think it's more of a default setting I have an inclusion picture also and they are different well they match so I'm assuming they know what the difference is
