Post c section panic!

I had a c section 3 weeks ago, no complications after and midwife said scar is looking great and all doing well and can bath etc.
In a hormonal moment of weakness had sex this morning (unprotected- I know, I know but we have never used protection so didn’t even think of it) and he moved before he finished. I’m now panicking and the hormone mist has moved on, what’re the chances of pre-cum pregnancy? Sounds stupid to even say but everyone says how fertile you are I don’t know if this is even a thing!
I’ve seen posts say hcg levels are high for a while after birth so when would I even test to put my mind at rest? Don’t want a false positive.

Pretty unlikely but get yourself on contraception.
Impressed you were able to/up to having sex 3 weeks in! And a bit jealous haha

If you're really worried, go and get the MAP today.

Yes, I was going to suggest the MAP too..... I'm sure it can be taken up to 72 hours after? Sometime else can hopefully advise better.

It's unlikely but you are 'super fertile' in the first few months after having a baby apparently

MAP. Its possible.

Me and my husband used the pull out method for over a year no issues, he doesn't pull out one time and bam I'm pregnant! 🙈 so I think as long as he pulled out Youl be fine x

Hi, I’m a sexual health nurse. Fertility returns 21 days after birth so I’m guessing you may well be fertile if it was exactly 3 weeks post section
are you breast feeding? If exclusively then this also minimise the chances of conceiving, but has to be completely exclusive. No top up bottles etc.
levonelle can be given up to 72 hours post sex then there is also Ella one which can be used up to 5 days after x

KC1234 · 08/09/2024 19:09

In terms of testing, a pregnancy test will be accurate 3 weeks from the day of unprotected sex xx

Entirely possible you could be pregnant. I’d take the MAP.
