I agree completely. You NEED to wait until you've stopped bleeding. That's a physical signal that your cervix has closed up (which is Very important~ you don't want a uterine infection. The risks of getting one are Far higher when you're on your period, or postpartum and still bleeding.)The main thing to look for in reinitiating physical intimacy after birth is whether or not you have stopped bleeding. If you have- it shouldn't be an issue. My hubby and I made it to 3 weeks, then waited another week or so--and this has been my best post partum recovery by far!
Are you asking because you feel that this has impeded your healing in some way?
It is not a myth that breastfeeding causes ammenoreah. It really does suppress ovulation...however how long it suppresses ovulation varies from woman to woman depending on many factors-- whether or not the baby is getting any artificial nipples, how strong baby's suck is, whether or not baby is nursing throughout the night, the space between feedings-and just genetics.
If you are contemplating chemical contraception- be aware that it can have very detrimental effects on your milk supply.

That's what we use! I heart Billings because I am seriously lazy- and I like that I don't have to do anything to monitor my fertilityNo one has mentioned it so far, but learn natural family planning, or the Billings Method. This teaches you your signs of returning fertility, so there isn't any 'guesswork' about when to use bc or not.
Hope this helps
We use Billings too and are currently monitoring the return of fertility after pregnancy. Yay for Billings!That's what we use! I heart Billings because I am seriously lazy- and I like that I don't have to do anything to monitor my fertility
