My sister-in-law pulled this stunt with my brother. They split up over it. She then went off and actually got pregnant on a one night stand. After a couple of years of single motherhood, my brother stepped back in and they had more kids. But because of the lie, one of the kids isn't his own (although, as a family, we don't make any distinction - she'll always be my niece, even though we're technically not related).
You haven't let things spiral enough out of control yet, and you can still resolve this. I'd be as honest as you can without letting slip what you've done. I.e. say you thought you were pregnant and have now realised you aren't. Just hope he doesn't ask about the dates or when you found out. If he does, you really have to be honest and front up.
