Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I get pregnant if I don't get my period after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, the absence of menstruation can also indicate pregnancy. It is recommended: Many unintended pregnancies occur in the first few months after childbirth. Starting from 21 days postpartum, the ovaries of some women may return to normal and release eggs. If sexual activity occurs without contraception at this time, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, you should not wait until your period returns to start contraception. This is because you may ovulate (release an egg) about two weeks before your period, so you might become pregnant again without realizing it. Thus, it is important to take postpartum contraception measures.
