Is it my baby????

Hello,
It is very hard for me to write this but I need to get it off my chest. My wife cheated on me on October 28th. She told me she used protection (I just hope it's true). 2 days later, October 30th, her period started and lasted for 9 days (Which is quite unusual for her). I left the house for a few days and came back around November 12th. Starting on that day, we had sex everyday even sometimes twice a day until December 7th. Now my question is, is there a possibility that this child might not be mine? I pray to god that it is because we've been together for 10 years and I wouldn't want this single mistake to ruin the rest of my life. Although it kind of did but I'm trying to cope with it. Would somebody please help me out?

Thank you and Happy Holidays

If she had a period before you resumed sexual activity with her, then it is safe to say that this baby would be yours.  However, if this is a continual, lingering doubt, tell her that in order to get this off your chest, so that you can move forward that you need a paternity test.  Given the situation, I don't think that you would be out of line in asking for one. Just explain to her that you really want to move forward but that any joy in this event is being overshadowed by this worry and that it is going to be hard for you to not know for sure.

But who knows, by the time the child is born, you may be so in love with it already that you don't care and can put it aside.  If that happens, then no need to test. Good luck to you.

Your welcome!  I understand what you are going through.  I have been in a similar situation, and the doubts and insecurity will still sneak up on you from time to time.  When that happens, just remind yourself of all the good things you still have and the good things that will come in the future.  And there will be good things, just be patient and remember to communicate honestly everything that you are thinking and feeling.  As long as you can continue to talk things out, both of you will be fine. :)  Good luck, need any advice or support, just PM me.

I admire the way you are handling the situation :) but it must so hard. You probably just want to enjoy her pregnancy and the whole experience with out this doubt in ur mind :(  what does she feel ? It is only fair to take a test if that will give u some peace of mind.

I think it would be safe to say that the baby that she is carrying is yours...That is just based on the info you gave...She had her last period October 30, so I am assuming she missed her November period? She would have probably ovulated around November 12-15 give or take a couple of days..If she has a 30 day cycle...

I also want to add, I am sorry that you are going through this...I know it must be hard..You are a great man to try to cope with it and not let this wreck your 10 year marriage...I really hope she truly appreciates you...

Good luck

Well we've been told August 6, 2011 but this is oly based by calculating the first day of her last periods so that would be almost 9 weeks but technically Ovulations accur 14 days later so it's more like 7 weeks!!!!

Thank you for responding and yes you are right by saying that all the joy is overshadowed by all this. I hadn't even decided if I wanted to stay married and now....she's pregnant. Lets just hope 2011 will be better!!!!!
