How soon after childbirth can you get pregnant or ovulate? what's the likelihood of conceiving?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

2-6 weeks: That is going to vary from person to person but you can get pregnant as soon as you ovulate. This can be as early as two weeks after delivery. For others ovulation will come later.
