Sorry to sound thick but when can you conceive again after birth? My baby is 3 months old now and we are not using any contraceptive. I'm half in half breast and bottle feeding and my periods have not returned so am I right in thinking that until my periods arrive I'm not likely to fall pregnant? We do want another baby so would be good news if there is a chance it could happen but I dont' have a clue!!
How soon can you conceive after baby?

I've got my doctors appointment Friday to get back on the pill - not taking no chances here either.
how soon can you go back on the pill then? I thought you would have to wait a while.
My mam fell pregnant within 6months of having me and i want there to be at least a 3yr age gap if i have another baby so i think i may have to go back on the pill - even though i hate it!! it makes me feel icky x

you can start taking the pill 21 days after birth or you can wait until you have a period. If you are breatfeeding i think GP will give you the mini pill instead of the combined pill so that it does not affect your milk!
