I am pregnant, but I don't know who the father is! Is there an early DNA test?
Please do not judge me if you are dont bother leaving a comment. Im stressed out enough please. I just recently found out i am pregnant and im so unsure of who the father is. My last period was Dec 16-20th I had sex Dec 25th, And then again Jan 1st. My due date is Sept 26th, Im confused i dont understand at all and i have no idea what to do. Alot of people say sperm stays in your body for 5 days, i dont know how true that is. Id like to get a dna test while im pregnant if anyone knows anything about them id really appreciate it.

There are DNA tests like that but they have to test the amnotic fluid how they do that is sticking a needle in your stumoch to draw some of it. dont wait to long but you have to be so far along because i HAD to have one done to check my son for down syndrome i was on bed rest for 2 weeks and couldnt lift more than 10 pounds.it could be either guy but the day your due date it it looks like december 25th guy

There are DNA tests that can be done before birth - but they are elective, and almost never covered by insurance unless there is some real concern (like a known risk of a genetic issue that could make the pregnancy impossible to carry to term, or a suspicion the newborn might need a lot of special medical treatment right away...).
Those sorts of DNA tests are very expensive.
It is true that sperm can stay in the body and fertilize an egg - even for up to seven days.
All things being equal, if you have a very regular cycle, it's a bit more likely that the January 1st gentleman is the father. Simply because of when you are more likely to be fertile. Of course - that is just an educated guess. It could still be either.
Talk to your doctor for more guidance and details, but you'll likely need to wait until you give birth and can do a proper DNA test to know for sure.

There are tests for that, but I think you have to be at least a few months along, and they are expensive. Ask you doctor about it on your next visit.
