rockrose why don't you make your own post so she won't "keep posting"?? You are the main person keeping this post going and when its all said and done, nobody's opinion is changed. Please give up all ready

kiki24,  you're absolutely right.  Sometimes ovulation doesn't occur regularly.

That's why it's really important if you have a 7 week ultrasound.  Those are scientifically sound.  A  healthy,  beating heart in a 7 week old embryo is science you can rely on.

If you don't have an ultrasound until like,  20 weeks or so,  it's anyone's guess.

You don't have to be a doctor to know that at 7 weeks,  if there's a healthy ultrasound,  that's how you can date a pregnancy.  

Doctor's aren't superhuman.  Other people who are smart and have information are worth listening to.  

Newmom - maybe this topic isn't about you anymore.  You started it,  but the topic has kind of moved beyond the point where you said women who are trying to date a pregnancy shouldn't post on MedHelp.  Maybe you don't have to keep posting.

Wow new mom, all these angry commenters, over your opinion! That's crazy. I salute you for standing your ground and not changing you mind/opinion for any of these bullies. I don't understand how one post has everybody so upset. Hopefully they'll get over it. If not, oh well, life goes on :-)

Fact of the matter ladies if you sleep with more than 1 man you need a DNA test. I don't believe newmom was trying to be rude. So many mistakes have occurred when going by 'calendar' when more than 1 man has been involved. Giving these ladies advice is really all we can do but I see plenty 'who my baby daddy' postings and others telling them "oh,its guy such and such"!!! Point is nobody can clarify if in a situation like that it was so easy to point a finger Maury would be out of a job & I wouldn't have anything to watch @ 1300 & 1600 lol. Just get tested... No judgement :)

This is stupid at this point clearly I struck a nerve by having an opinion u can be mad if u want but having an opinion does not make me mean or hormonal it makes me a person with a brain who can think for herself it would have been mean for me to go on each post about paternity and say something crazy which I did not do I simply expressed my opinion on my post on the issue and again DNA is the only way to tell if someone is truly the father of a child in any situation where their are multiple partners I never judged anyone on any specific situation so u should stop accusing me of doing so I just said that paternity is a matter that should be handled through DNA testing not asking others to pick one

"NEWMOM" is having pregnancy related hormonal issues or, just may be a "Mean Girl".

I have always been in monogamous relationships....but lady, crap happens in others lives....date rape can occur, and a night of poor judgement after going through a break up or on again off again relationship is not so highly unusual.

I believe the poster knew in her heart she would need a DNA test...but it us the weekend, Dr. Office is closed, and the test won't be run till baby is born...the mom is stressing and needs some reassurance.

If you don't have anything nice to say, refrain and say nothing at all.

Women with class who found the original post offensive certainly did not take the time to initiate a post on the subject.

NEWMOM, you are either classless, judgemental, mean, or horomonal. I hope it's just your horomones and you can go back to being a loving, kind, classy, gracious lady soon!

Thats not true....i foloowed my ovulation calender made sure me and my mate didnt have unprotected  sex...to my surprise that month i ovulated a week later...doctor said not every woman ovulates exactly based off of a calendar....that is why im a firm believer in going to a doctor for clarification....not even going in deep with the whole dna thing but if you worried get a test...be fair to your child as well as the men...my point exactly the forum isnt answered by doctors...however lots of women want to act like they are one

kiki,  you don't have to be a licensed physician to look at a calendar and tell a very scared mom that the chances the baby she terribly fears was conceived during a break up and some very foolish behavior is likely not the result of her affair.

All it takes is a calendar.

These forums aren't answered by doctors.  There are doctor moderated forums on MedHelp,  but this advice is just from other posters.

And reading these forums for a long time,  I've seen some really,  really good advice and bad advice is almost always corrected quickly.

Forum or not the only thing we should tell a woman who had multiple  partners in a short time frame is to get a DNA test....i understand  its a medical forum...but 90% arent licensed physicans giving advice...and for that matter any woman with a health concern...some womens advice goes too far...what was okay for one may not be the norm for another..

But the whole point is,  newmom, this isn't your forum.  

This is medhelp's forum and although they may move the post to their forum dedicated to this exact question - paternity and DNA - they approve of the question in general.

It's not really up to individual posters to tell other people what topics they can post.  It has a very chilling and unwelcoming effect on a board.

I think this post is totally unfair.Maybe the poor girl had no one to turn to so asked on this application.not everyone is perfect and mistakes are made. Maybe she just wanted someone to put her mind at rest. Just until she can get a dna test.

The poor girl is now maybe feeling worst about her situation because we are all commenting on her. Me include

newmom,  yes,  you often can tell correctly who the dad is when given dates.  Some moms have as much as a month between sexual encounters,  and in that case you can tell with complete accuracy in an early ultrasound who is and who isn't the dad.

Considering how much other irresponsible behavior is posted on this board all day long,  I'm surprised that someone asking about that one type of irresponsibility gets so much heat.

I understand being able to pick out the father of someone child is impossible but simply giving them advice and knowledge is harmless. Get over yourself. I'm sure some of the questions you think are normal that you ask are annoying to others but feeling the need to put that openly on a public forum is immature and rude. This isn't high school seriously grow up.

Seriously some of are you are unbelievable...this girl has every right also to vent about things that annoy her,shes far from the only one these stupid "whos the daddy" topics annoy...if someone sleeps with 2 guys and gets pregnant soon after it aint rocket science that your only 100% solid proof will be a dna test..doesnt matter how much math some of you "genuis's" try do you still cant answer that question either so get over yourselves..its a ridiculous question to ask from complete strangers

First of all I didn't bash anyone it was an opinion which if u don't like it that's fine nor am I bored or hiding and I am very much educated what I said is correct as no one can just pick out the father of someone's child now u can go educate urself on that concept thank u

I think that you finding it necessary to boldly put yourself on a misspelled pedestal above others in order to express your opinion is 'ridiculous'
Perhaps the one needing to grow up is the very person bashing others for asking a question in order to further their knowledge about a menstrual cycle. Just because you and I know these things doesn't mean everyone else in the world does. Guess what? We once didn't know either until we learned about it. So get a hobby besides putting down others while hiding behind your keyboard and boredom with your own life.

Regardless if there is a forum or not people saying someone is ur child's father does not make it true the only way to know is through DNA so be a grown up and test the men is all I'm saying and stop asking people if we know or not because we don't and really I think it makes the person asking the question look ridiculous
