How long does the extra fertile window last after giving birth?
I’m asking this because it took 3 years to conceive my first.
I then got pregnant 6 weeks postpartum with my second thanks to the fertile window and now I’m 8 months postpartum with my 2nd
and I would like to try for a 3rd but I worry that the extra time being fertile after birth has worn off now and we may struggle again like with our first!

I’m not sure if this is due to the fertile window or if it was just luck but I just got pregnant the first month of trying and my son is just over 2.
I’ve read somewhere that you aren’t anymore fertile after having a baby than what you were before you got pregnant. So just try when you’re ready

Following because I'm also curious. I had to wait until 12 weeks postpartum for a procedure but wanted irish twins as was told by my consultant for another issue if I wanted more kids I had to catch my window now and I know I'm ebf but with LO turning 6 months in 2 weeks I'm stressing that I'm destined to have an only child 😢 Sorry for venting. I hope the answer comes soon 🙏🏻
