Estimates Please

nataliekristin

I had unprotected sex 3 times so far and its been 4 weeks postpartum. I was EBF up until a week ago. Now  I feed during the day from 6am to 9pm breast milk, usually breast fed. Then during the night formula. I am still having lochia. What is your estimate of the likelihood of me being pregnant? I plan on doing a test in a week, then being tested at 6 week appt. I am simply looking for opinions/estimates educated or not... trying to cope with waiting.

I doubt you are pregnant only 4 weeks out, but I'm not sure.

Did you OB advise you to refrain from sex until 6 weeks? Mine did and said it was because it takes that long for your cervix to close back up from childbirth. The chances of infection are great. I would not have sex again until cleared by your doctor.

You probably aren't pregnant, but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to have sex while youre still bleeding.

Seriously? Why are you having unprotected sex 4 weeks pp? Are you trying to get yourself a pelvic infection?

Follow the rules and control yourself!

I've heard that you are very fertile the first few months after giving birth.

My friends wife got pregnant a month after giving birth... Their babies were seriously only 10 months apart.

I heard this from an L&D nurse.

OP, are you trying to get pg?
