Had baby 8 weeks ago and still haven’t had a period, Can I get pregnant even with not having a period? Thanks?

I had my baby 8 weeks ago now and I still haven’t had a period. Will I still be fertile even though I haven’t had one yet?? We want another baby straight away, had unprotected sex but unsure if we will conceive as no period has shown yet?

If I will be fertile then would it just be normal like a week every month?

Thanks

    Yes, you could get pregnant again without yet having a period after giving birth, if you have begun ovulating again. You ovulate BEFORE you have a period.

    Yes -- after you begin ovulating again your fertility will be "normal' again - about one week out of every month.

    It's not a good idea to have another baby straight away. That could be detrimental to your health and to the health of the new baby. It's best to wait at least one year after you give birth before you begin trying to have another baby.

    You want another straight away? That can damage your body, stop being stupid.

    Do you want a healthy baby?

    Because if so you're better waiting off until it's been at least a year.

    I mean if you want a baby with much higher risks of prematurity, low birth weight, and cerebral palsy, then go wild. You may very well be able to conceive now. Doesn't really make you much of a mother, though.

    you could get pregnant even if you have not had a period, ovulate comes before period - if you are breast feeding that might be why no period

    Yes, you can.

    You produce an egg before you bleed.

    Its best to use condoms or other pregnancy prevention measures if you do not want to get pregnant again so quickly.
