If you don't tell them. They won't know. I suggest you tell them they're a chance you may be. They won't yell at you. They're not there to do that. Are you married? In a long term relationship? Sarah

I am married and we were going to try but after our son we decided when we get prego again great. So trying but not trying so to say. I know its soon after his birth but honestly I want to have them close together and I know it could take a bit with the second one. Which it has taken longer than it did for us to get pregnant the first time. I just thought your cervix closed the minute well soon after getting pregnant so when they did their internal they would see the change, I could be wrong that is why I was asking. I was and still am awaiting my first AF after his birth and never sure when I will ovulate since his birth. I know to track temps and mucus but havent yet.

Dang...I couldn't even have sex at six weeks. If you took a test at 5 weeks (3 weeks ago), then you must have been only a few weeks post baby when you did the deed..... how in the heck?? You don't have to tell me, I just couldn't imagine personally. Last edited by ladylee70 on 03-12-07 19:46pm; edited 1 time in total

I know that they can sometimes tell if your cervix is enlarged(which can be many things, pregnancy is only one). But I am not sure if that would work so soon after pregnancy Anyways, they wouldn't diagnose with an exam alone (at least not this early) Sorry , there is no way around having a test. Based off of some of the posts on here I don't think 8 weeks is to long for your period to show. Are you breastfeeding?
