Daft question šŸ«£

So Iā€™m 7.5 weeks pp from an emergency c-section and me and my husband have had sex 2 or 3 times in the last week (he pulled out each time). My question is, does anyone know how long are you ā€œextremely fertileā€ for? We are not using any contraception. *Please do not advise me to. I am aware of the risks however I have been on EVERY single pill (I suffer from migraines which are made worse by the pill), I do not want to have any of the coil options, I have previously been on the depo injection which did not agree with me either and I donā€™t want the ā€œrodā€. We have used condoms in the past but I alwayssss end up with thrush so I donā€™t want to use them.* I am fully aware that there is a huge risk of becoming pregnant if we arenā€™t using preventions but I just wondered how long you are extra fertile foršŸ¤£ Not sure if it makes any difference but I still havenā€™t had a period which I assume is normal for me though! (I hadnā€™t had a period for nearly 2.5 years before I fell pregnant the first time) For context, I have PCOS and it took 2 years of trying to get pregnant and I miscarried my first pregnancy.

If you're EBF then you have around 6 months of natural contraception through hormones, otherwise you are already extremely fertile. Totally understand your reluctance for pills etc its not fun!

I got pregnant after a year and after having sex twice. I had just stopped taking the mini pill too. Didn't expect it to happen so fast.

@India my body must have missed that memo because I fell pregnant 4m pp while ebf šŸ˜‚

The withdrawal method is 70%. Could avoid sex during peak fertility. Also thereā€™s something called the ā€˜nova ringā€™ u place it in urself up by ur cervix. It has hormones but coz itā€™s not inside ur body may effect u less šŸ™šŸ»

@Sharnee oh mu goodness šŸ¤£
