Is It Possible To Get Pregnant Again Soon After Childbirth?

I had a baby 9 weeks ago and began intercourse when she was 10 days old. I was breastfeeding then but at 2 weeks she was starting to be bottle fed. My partner and I have been having regular, unprotected sex since and have only been on the pill for three weeks. I have taken the first of the sugar tablets but had no period yet. I stupidly didn't think I could get pregnant again so fast, is it possible that I may be pregnant?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion as you are on the pill the chance of pregnancy is rare.Usually with complete breast feeding there will be 3 or more months of lactation amenorrhea ie.,absence
of breast feeding.Without breastfeeding there will be protection upto only 3 weeks.
mini pill is safe in lactation
