How long after having a baby?!

Question

I know after you have a baby, you’re very fertile and should either go on birth control or use condoms , how long are you this fertile after having a baby? I had my daughter March 15th, this upcoming Friday I’ll be 8 weeks postpartum and I believe about 6 weeks after having a baby shit starts working again and everything is very fertile. I personally do not like birth control. I was on it one time, hated it and now don’t want to go on it again. I also, don’t like condoms and neither does my boyfriend...but will use them until we’re in a more safe place. 
So that being said , does anyone know??  🤔 we’ve only had sex one time since having her , but I’m a worry wort lol. 
I know breastfeeding can stall ovulation, but sadly I wasn’t producing enough milk no matter what I did, so my daughter is only formula Fed now 😔

Answer

You’re not more fertile, you’re just regular fertile. You can return to fertility right after pregnancy and you can ovulate prior to your first postpartum period, so tracking can be a challenge (which is how oopsies usually occur). If you are not interested in getting pregnant again, you should use some method of birth control.

Answer

It took my partner and I 6 yrs, 2 losses and fertility meds to conceive our daughter. I was breastfeeding and my period came back regular after pp bleeding stopped. We weren’t trying but not preventing. Had sex once in December (daughter was 6/7 months old) - I’m 23 weeks. We knew we wanted another child but didn’t think it would happen so quick with how hard we had to work for our first :)

Answer

I wasnt able to leave the hospital unless I was to be put on birth control and that was 30 hours after birth.
