Question
Hello doctor,
I just had a baby, it's been 5 months and 20 days so far. Currently, I am breastfeeding with solid foods and I have not had my period yet. Me and my husband had sex but didn't use any contraception but my husband was so tired that he couldn't ejaculate. So the doctor told me to have sex after giving birth without a period, can I get pregnant? I would like to thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Can you get pregnant after having sex after giving birth without a period? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
5 months after giving birth, women who have unprotected sex after giving birth still have a high chance of getting pregnant. If you don't want to get pregnant again, you should use safe methods of birth control such as an IUD, oral contraceptives (progestin-only), or emergency pills (levonorgestrel).
In your case, you should still follow up, after 1 month you still have not had your period, you should go to an obstetrician-gynecologist to check.
If you still have questions about the postpartum relationship, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
