Posted: 01-14-08 21:27pm

I just had a baby and I had unprotected sex on the first. When should I take a test?

I don't know I just had a baby, I think I had one that started on the 3 or 4 and it wasn't just spotting it was heavy but I'm not sure.. But as for knowing when my period is due, I don't know since I just had a baby 7 weeks ago and I'm breastfeeding.

Well the doctor said I could take a test in 2 weeks when I went for my check up. But I just wanted other opinions, even if it was the doctor.

just wait the two weeks! are you TRYING to get pregnant again only 7 weeks after having a baby?

since you dont know when your period is due, it makes it kinda hard to determine when/if you ovulated

I'd say go ahead and test. It could be positive by now. However, if it is negative, you will need to retest.

Good luck! What are you hoping for?

its really dangerous for you and the baby to get pregnant so soon after.
if you find out your pregnant i would highly suggest getting alot of vitamins and seeing a doctor asap.

Yeah really, stop hounding her.

I think you should just wait another 2 weeks and retest. Good luck!

I would suggest that you retest, just to put your mind at ease. If you get a negative in two weeks, you can trust that result.

Mistakes happen hun, try not to worry about it now. What's done is done, all you can do is learn from it. Trust me, you are not the first person for this to happen to!

And congrats on your son. Hes very handsome.

Have you spoken to your doctor about going on birth control yet? If you have any questions about your options, we would be more then willing to help.

THANK YOU!
Finally someone who just gives me answers without telling me what I've done wrong!
What birthcontrols can I do while breastfeeding besides the shot.
