Ovulation and other questions?

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

Your period/ovulation could return any time, but there's no absolute time frame. Every body is different. It can take months for your body to get into a cycle again. Your spotting sounds like it's more related to sex.

Also, are you using protection? If you're having sex and not breastfeeding, I would suggest going to your OB/GYN for some contraceptives unless you think you're ready to take on a newborn and an infant.

Answer 2

The reason the Drs. say wait 6 weeks is because your body needs to heal and you are prone to all kinds of infections until your cervix is closed.....As for ovulating everyone is different and you may have ovulated already..after having a baby you are very fertile...if you are not using protection there may be a good chance of another pregnancy happening..have you been back to the DR. for your 6 week checkup? If not I would let him know that you started having sex again after three weeks and make sure he checks for infection and pregnancy...Good Luck!

Answer 3

A doctor can/should answer all these questions much better than any of us Yahoo's can. Good luck.
