Is this possible or am I over-reacting?

Hello everyone.
Just had a quick question for you all. And please give me your honest answers.
I was with a woman on April 12th 2011. A few months later it was discovered that she was pregnant.
She did let me know through a casual conversation, and did not accuse me of being the father.
I would ask her all of these questions myself, but after we were together she met someone and they are still together today.
She says the day she conceived was May 18th 2011.
Her due date was 2/09/12. The child was born via induction on 2/06/12.
Her induction was because of scheduling concerns and complications.
To my understanding, the baby was NOT overdue.
According to all of my math, and giving a 5 day grace after we had sex, the pregnancy would have been almost 45 weeks on her due date, or 44 and 1/2 weeks when induced.

Now for the question.
Is it ridiculous for me to worry about possibly being the father to this child?
Is there no way that I could be the father because the conception date was 5 weeks (35 days) after we were together? I just want someone else to tell me that I'm in the clear. Even though she never accused me of being the father, it would devastate me if I was and I've been worried about it since the first day that I found out she was pregnant.

Any replies will be very appreciated.
Thanks!

It's highly unlikely you're not the father. The timing doesn't match up. If you're still feeling doubtful & feel maybe she was induced a few weeks early, maybe a paternity test would be the answer.

Probabal day of conception is may 20th according to my pregnancy wheel...so i would say give or take a week in either direction and you could be the dad...hope this helps :)

if u think u could be the father i dont see the harm in asking for a paternity test it would put your mind at ease, but like the posters above said it doesnt sound like you could be best of luck to you :)

Doctors are usually only off on due dates and conception dates by about 2 weeks. I would say you're not the father. Doctors messure and calculate pregnancy by when the last period was. She most likely had one at the end of april and got preggo in may.

By the sound of it, there's no way you are the father.
