Fertility Right After Birth...
Posted: 12-16-05 06:58am

:?: my name is pennie and I am new here...I am 29 years old. I have a son who is almost 9 years...And I just had a daughter on october 31st. I had found it difficult to get pregnant before, I had messed up periods it took us 4 years to get preg with my son and I have been trying since he was 2 to have another and just now did. My question is how fertile are you right after a baby. Here is what I did and I am worried. I had my bleeding after the birth like normal. 1st week of dec I had my first period...Started on a monday ended on the next mon...Had sex tues...He got off inside me and then had sex on thurs and he pulled out. I am glad I had my baby but I don't really want another one..How fertile do you think a person would be on these times. Pennie

Well, for one thing, every woman is different, so it's hard to tell for sure. You were stupid for letting him cum inside you that soon after having a baby and not being on birth control... You should've never taken a chance like that! Soooooo dumb! Are you going to be going on any birth control? Cuz if you don't want another baby right now, you should! Ok, that's just my advice.
I've heard fertility can return within 2 weeks of delivering.

Sorry, I Wasn't Juding You Pennie..
Posted: 12-16-05 14:28pm

I'm sorry if you felt like I was judging you, pennie, but I wasn't. I just thought that a 29-yr-old would know more about how a woman gets pregnant than what you led on...So, are you on birth control or what? Are you planning on going on birth control?
By the way, I am a 27-yr-old married woman as well, i'm not some teenager answering your ?...

Low Self Esteem?
Posted: 12-16-05 14:31pm

Oh, also it sounds like you've got some other serious issues, like low self-esteem or something; maybe that's why you jumped to the conclusion so fast that I was judging you...!
That's something that a 13-yr-old girl would do in jr. High school!

Look I reaaly don't have self esteem issues and I do know a thing or two about women getting pregnant I just wasn't sure how fertile you are right after giving birth and I don't believe that people are stupid for making mistakes becuase everyone does. I was just curious.

You're Not Stupid
Posted: 12-16-05 14:52pm

Well, maybe you should talk to your dr about your fertility issues. That would be smarter than trying to find out from somebody on a forum.

You're Right
Posted: 12-16-05 15:04pm

You are right about asking the doc and I need no reply to this I am just going to say that you can't just talk to the doc any time sometimes you have to wait and I am not the only one who asks people on a forum for advice. It is just a little help in the meantime until you can speak to the doc. So please don't reply...I don't want to continue this conversation I can find a friendlier board at another site thanks again.

I am sorry you got "not such a nice response" to your guestion!!!

Within 2 months after birthing one or miscarrying one I was pregnant again for like 5 years. I ended up miscarrying 6 babys and had 3 live births. So in my case yes very fertile after birth.

As I was reading this, I was thinking since it was so hard for you to conceive this time, maybe this will be your only chance to have a 3rd child. Maybe it is a good thing!! Right? I know back to back is really hard, but like I say it might be, meant to be.

Good luck

Not Trying to Be Mean!!!
Posted: 12-16-05 16:14pm

Hello people! I was not trying to be mean to her! I was just trying to help! Besides, you can't read "tone of voice" on forums! I was not being mean at all! She's the one who got mad and started freaking out saying I was judging her! That is soooooooooo not true! I am not a mean person! Most people would just have laughed it off, but obviously pennie has no sense of humor. Sorry...I have a great sense of humor and do not wear my feeling on my shoulders, nor do I get offended easy! Relax and chill out! Have fun & enjoy life! Jeepers!

Ok Ok
Posted: 12-16-05 16:25pm

Look to sweet4j i'm sorry if I took you the wrong way this got out of hand. I really do have a great sense of humor as well but as you mentioned you can't read tone of voice...I just took the words stupid and dumb to heart I guess because I was asking a serious question..Ok I am not mad just was a bit offended no big deal. And to fatfamily thank you for your answer and you are right...About meant to be but the only reasin I would be scared of a third baby is because I have to have c-sections and I don't know how many a person can have without problems. I had toxemia with my first and was on total bedrest for 6 months and with this one was a bit better but I had gestational diabetes....Ended up having a baby that weighed 9 lbs 11 1/2 oz.

Hi purp I was reading the post she was harsh to do the name calling thing especially if she is 27ys old i'm 22 and preggo with my second but only after 2 yrs.I think it all really depends on how your body reacting after birth or your hormone lvl etc.Btw you can post here everyone is not mean and harsh as she. Joanna(fatfamily)is very helpful so this is good place don't let one rune your posting here just my opinion good luck and congrats on your bundle of joy children are a blessing from god

Hey, her & I got this resolved between us & she realized I was not being mean. It's really nobody else's business...She's forgave me, i've forgave her, I am a married woman, who's been married almost 10 years, have 2 children (8 & 3) & I really don't wanna feel like i'm in jr. High school again, k?????
Arguing is something I did 10 years ago, not now...

I'm not fighting with you about it I just saw the post you two were typing and decided to comment on it. That is what this place is for.If that's your sense of humor it sucks that's all i'm saying I don't bicker and all of that ok but you made yourself seem like your are in jr high with the stupid and dumbs you said to her.If you don't know words hurt ppl no matter the age of the person so let's drop it ok cause it don't matter she got the good respectful advice she needed not the smart remarks good luck to you and god bless

I did not read any of the responses so if this is here than you are reading a repeat,

you are the most fertile after having a baby! There is not a time that you are more fertile and to top it off, many women believe that nursing will stop you from becoming preggers and it is a total myth! Ask your ob and they can give you the best advice but more likly than not, you were instructed to not have sex for 6 weeks and then the doc will give the go ahead and also counsel and offer birth control at that time.

I can't believe some of the things I read here.

I thought this forum was for help & assistance - not a place where you are called stupid or dumb or have someone tell you that you have low self-esteem. That's just wrong.

Purpz28 - if you ever have a question or an issue that you need help with, you can post here & most usually you will have a nice response. And yes,
you can be fertile right after having a baby. Just take things as they come & if you are not pregnant (& don't want to be) maybe your dr could give you something, such as the pill. I hope you don't encounter another response like the one you got earlier - & I hope that you decide to still post here if you need to. Take care & good luck:)
