How likely am i to get pregnant after having sex after 3 weeks of giving birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very: It's ok to wait after giving birth to have sex again. 3 weeks seems a little short (we usually say 6 weeks), but if you are healed and it doesn't hurt, it is probably safe enough to have sex. It would be very unlikely that your hormone cycle would start back up soon enough to be releasing an egg 3 weeks after delivery, even if you are not breast feeding (bf). 4-6 weeks is more likely; longer if bf.
