I have a steady boyfriend who I am sorry to say I cheated on once on the evening of august 11th when very tipsy at a party. The man did not ejaculate in me, and penetration was for a very brief time. My boyfriend and I had very regular sex in this period but I am not sure of the dates and I took a test on august 27 th which was negative and then again on the 31st which was positive - still early for the test to show. What are the chances the baby is not my boyfriends?

Your bf deserves honesty, cheating is terrible, but keeping him in the dark is ongoing cheating particularly if the child isn't his.
"I cheated on once on the evening of august 11th when very tipsy at a party"
Take a test, see what you think if you are really honest with yourself.

So i would say most likely to be your boyfriends, but still slight possibility of being the other mans as sperm can live up to a week.

As far as the cheating goes you should probably tell him about that too, he has a right to know what is going on in his relationship.

Especially if the baby is not his. It is seriously wrong to lie to a man about him being the father of a child if he is not. It will come out eventually. DNA tests will be as easy as preg tests in a few short years.

 Pretty unlikely, but possible. If your period started on 5th, I guess it finished around 9th. You could have ovulated early, even in response to sex on 11th, and although you say he didn't ejaculate in you, some sperm could have got into you if he pulled out. It is unlikely, as you are more likely to have been fertile around the 14th/15th/16th, which is consistent with positive test around 31st, as it usually needs to be about 2 weeks after conception to show.I think it is very very most likely your boyfriend's child. Better just to think it is. You need to feel secure in your current situation.

"period began on august the fifth" Its a very good chance that your carrying the other guy baby. You need to do a DNA test. Forget what "The Realist" Don't just force this child on a man that had nothing to do with what you decided to do. I hope your not as selfish as "The Realist" and not give this man a chance to decide on his own."august 11th when very tipsy at a party" be honest when you tell him the truth, not like you written here. Remember always speak the truth. The truth will set you free!

 Slim to none. If he didn't even ejaculate in you, the only way for him to have gotten you pregnant is if he had ejaculated since last urinating before penetrating you AND for you to be ovulating during that time. You could always ask for a paternity test from the man you drunkenly slept with, but definitely do not tell your boyfriend unless you want to raise this baby on your own.

 It sounds like it is unlikely but still possible. I think the best thing you can do is forget that night ever happened and be with your bf to raise the child. I don't see any point in him second guessing whether the child is his or not because he probably loves you and will love the child regardless. It is unecessary stress for the relationship. Usually the test would have been positive on the 27th if it was the other mans child. What you should do is have faith in the test and that it is your bf's child and get on with your life raising the child in a happy home.
