I want to know the likelihood that I will get pregnant because my friend told me it was 100% that I am pregnant again and that I am dropping eggs left and right...is this true? I am going to use condoms after this mistake, I wasn't thinking he was going to come in me..because when I was pregnant he always pulled out. Thanks for the advice.

 You are the exception to the rule in this case. In most cases a woman is advized not to have sex for the first six weeks after pregnancy to allow things to heal. Also, usually until that six week period has gone by, sex is usually the furthest thing from a woman's mind.
However, there are different factors to consider such as are you breast feeding and have you started menstruating again?
If you are breast feeding, how much and how often? Breast feeding would not really be a viable means of contraception unless the little one was feeding 24/7. The reason is that while suckling, a sensation is caused at the nipple that sends a message to the brain to suppress the hormone that stimulates ovulation.
Another thing is that most women do not resume their menstruation for about two months following child birth and ovulation usually does not start again until after the first period.
All things considered though it is not likely that you are pregnant but it is certainly not impossible because the human body is not exactly predictable in all cases.
Hope this gives you some hope. Doc.
