Ovulation after pregnancy and more??

Question

I have a few questions to ask...I had a C-section after hours of pushing but was told not to have sex for 6 weeks but my sex drive and body felt healed enough after 3.My lochia was already done by then, too. Now, Im wondering when my period might make its come back and when I could start ovulating again if I havent already. But now after three weeks of being sexually active again I started to spot after the act now, nothing major just light spotting (more of a watery pink spotting) once and then its gone again. Is that normal? When could I except to ovulate and see my period return again if Im bottlefeeding? I also bought a prego kit and it was neg but Iwas it to soon to test since I might have ovulated (if the ovulation test I did was correct) thru or fri then tested sat? When should I try a retest? Does anyone know the answers to these millions of question I have?

Answer 1

the best and only person you should be asking is your obgyn.

Answer 2

If you're not breast feeding, your period will likely come back within 2-3 months of giving birth. (It really depends on the woman.) It'll come back sooner since you're not nursing.

You'll ovulate right before your period starts. So, once you get your period you can assume that you'll start ovulating. Since it sounds like you're trying to get pregnant again, just wait until you've received your period to make things simple on the due date.

Save your money with the ovulation tests & wait until your period comes back. Your cycles will be a little random & off...so there's really no way for you to track exactly when you've ovulated--without BBT charting.

If you've been having unprotected sex and think you may be pregnant, just test every 2 -3 weeks (If you can hold off that long). There's really no way to say when the pregnancy test would be accurate.

After birth, you'll have lochia on and off for a while. They tell you to wait so there won't be any infection, etc., with where the placenta came. (And for women who birth naturally, so they won't further tear their stiches.)
