I had a baby on January 28th, and he passed away. I had sex for the first time since then on February 12. I know I didn't wait the standard 4 to 6 weeks, so don't tell me that. We used a condom, but it broke. A friend of mine told me that I very well may be pregnant again because you are most fertile right after you have a baby. I was wondering if this is true, or if anyone has any information on if you really are very fertile right after. What are the chances that I am pregnant again so soon?

The only thing I can find on the topic is that you aren't less fertile. Nothing on you being most fertile, though. A good question to call your OB about. (Don't worry, they shouldn't scold you.)
Your chances are, at the least, just as good as any other time. I know there are kids out there who are 9 months apart.
Since you are using condoms, I'm guessing you aren't ready to try again yet, but I thought I'd still throw this out there:
Give it some time.
You body is not back to rights. Your hormones are not back to rights.
I'm pregnant now. I got pregnant 4 months after having my son. Its been hard on my body, and even worse, its been real hard on my mind.
I'm an emotional, hormonal train wreck. Depression is an uphill battle, currently.
If you do happen to be pregnant again so soon, it will be probably hard, but you'll get through it. You are stronger than you think.
