That I could get pregnant again 6 weeks postpartum if I'm breastfeeding? I have not had any signs of a period yet. I saw my doctor for my 6 week check-up and she gave me the green light to have sex. Naturally, my husband jumped on it (literally). My doctor prescribed b/c pills, but I hadn't picked them up yet, and my husband didn't want to wait. I shared my thoughts about waiting just in case, but it didn't happen. Now I'm paranoid and I'm afraid to start the pills just in case.
