    Re: Could I be fertile already? (10 weeks post partum)

    I exclusively demand bf Spock, who never went longer than 3hrs between feeds, i got af back straight away, like clockwork never missed a beat. Im not 100% sure i was furtile though, as we have male factor and cant fall pg naturally so i never actually used contraception or paid close attention cause falling again wasnt a stress we had. When Spock was 1 i had a trial cycle to see if i was ovulating and it said i wasnt.
    But it is entirely possible i know a number of women who have fallen with a bub under 3months. If your unsure and dont want to take the ridk, use condoms, and discuss with your gp about sutible contraception

    My cycle was back to normal by 6 weeks post birth. I was exclusively breastfeeding. I have had friends get pregnant about 6 weeks after having a bub. A good friend has a nine month age gap between her two, due to second coming a few weeks early.

    So if you think your cycle is back and you are not planning another bub right now, best to use birth control.

    I had cycles of what you are talking about from about 8wks post p... but I didn't start bleeding again until she was at least 10 months old. Everytime I had the discharge I was convinced I would bleed again in a few weeks but it never happened. Just be safe incase you are fertile!
