QuestionI was wondering if it's possible that I could be pregnant again. i just gave birth to my son on January 25th, I got my 1st period on March 12th since i gave birth. My cycle before i gave birth was pretty consistent at 30 days. I am not sure if my cycle will be the same now. My husband and i had unprotected sex on March 26th. I have had one red spot on Thursday April 5th and 2 red spots Today Sunday April 8th. My back hurts a little bit and i have a little bit of cramping. I also have been going to the bathroom very often. I took a test Early this morning Sunday April 8th but it was negative. My last pregnancy I had to wait almost a week after my period was late to take the test and it was positive, Is it possible that i=I could be pregnant again and how long should i wait to take the test again?
AnswerHello!
Congradulations on the birth of your son!
It is possible to get pregnant very soon after pregnancy. As soon as you have the first period following birth, your ovulating. You cycle may not be the same as it was before, or could take some time to get back to it's old pattern.
If I the average cycle of 28 days, you were dead on target for being fertile. By your last period, a probably date of conception would be March 26th.
The spotting you had on the 5th and the 8th could be signs of implantation bleeding.
You may need to wait until your next period is due, or missed.
It's very possible that your not pregnant and your body is simply adjusting as your just getting out of the postpartum stage, but I would test in another week to be sure.
Besst Wishes.
