welll i had my baby about 3 weeks ago by c-section it was goin to be a normal birth but that didnt happen.the night i left the hospital i got the birth control shot in the bottom. it hurt! and i wait about 2 weeks and had sex. so could i get pregnate again from havin sex so soon?

I think the shot should have worked under you circumstances, especially if you are breastfeeding. What did the nurse or doctor tell you about when the shot took effect? I am always amazed though when ladies can handle sex so soon after birth and surgery! The last thing on my mind 2 weeks after my c's was sex. I didn't want anything to cause me any more pain!

he said it would take 5 days to take. im just scared that my body is still wide open. but ya im goin to take a pegnancy test in like 2 weeks just to make sure.

but thank girl

You should be just fine, but a test never hurts! How is your baby? How are you feeling? Did you have a boy or a girl?

cece i had sex 6 days after my c section i also got the shot and was breastfeeding and no baby on the way (whew) don't be afraid to talk to your doctor the time line they give you is a "suggestion" no one is going to get mad at you for doing what you were comfortable with...good luck

I was told no sex for 3 weeks.. more for recovery reasons.. .I think I waited longer.. too tired, still recovering.. etc. Talk with your doctor and if you are nervous about it.. use back up methods.
Good luck and congrats on the new one!
