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.

When you talk to them, please don't ask them for an "invasive" test.  It is a "non-invasive" test.

in my results im listed first as

Mother
(name
race
date collected
test number)                   then next to me is

the alleged father
(name
race
date collected
test number)

And then below is
              my dna ---- fetal DNA ---- Alleged father
SNP-1   AA ---- AG ---- TT

SNP-2  GG ---- AG ---- CC

SNP-3  TT ---- TC ---- AA

SNP-4  CC ---- CT ---- GG

SNP-5   AA ---- AG ---- TT

Interpretation:
Probability of Paternity : 0%

They only show 5 of the 2,688 SNP's (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) used to determine paternity

Hope this helped get an idea of the break down knowing me ill probably ask them for a print out of ALL the dam SNP's collected lol

Have you done yours yet?

With DDC you just call them and tell them you wanna set up a test and they will take your info and give you a appt with a local lab for you and alleged father too draw blood and then you wait for results.
Are you planning on using DDC or RAVGEN?

Yes I agree with 201603 that's definitely a red flag . How did DDC not catch that??
Did you Charamaire tell DDC about that did they have anything too say about the father being listed as mother?

Question for 201603 did your test results include your name and alleged father name?
