I belive it took close to a month for me with my first son.
I personally didn't have sex untill my Dr. Cleared me too. I heard 6weeks but I would check with your Dr. At your next follow up appt.

When I had my first baby the doctor said that it is ok to have sex after 6-8 weeks of delivery provided that you dont have any complications or infection
