How soon after giving birth can you concieve?

Just wondering if anyone knows how long after giving birth you can concieve (the earlest possible)?

I think within 2 weeks you can begin to ovulate again.

I would think as soon as your lochia finishes?? Don't know for sure though!

With or without breastfeeding?

ok, time for more info.
am breastfeeding but for first three weeks supplemented with formula due to breast pain and have been expressing a few times a week at least to, to have extra on hand for when i need a break.
lochia stopped quite early (don't exactly remember when) but was not very heavy at all after first week.
i don't exactly remember when we DTD after this (have fuzz brain still)
anyway the last day or so i have felt like i might be pregnant, no symtoms except nausea (which I used to get when breastfeeding DD1) just have 'that' feeling.

It's not impossible, though unlikely. Do you think it's late enough to do a test? Your body can feel pretty crazy after birth though, as your uterus and the rest of your body continue to go back into shape.

Hmm, I would suggest a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.
A friend of mine conceived 6 weeks after birth... so it can happen!
