What I said is that blood flow at day 5 pp is hardly defined as menses (it is
lochia).
And one does not have to menstruate to get pregnant - you CAN ovulate and
conceive within 4 weeks of delivery (and other times!) with out ever having a
menstrual flow. That's how you get "irish twins". The cervix isn't closed
completely and it is really easy for fertilization to occur.
I'm sure many of us have had babies without having a period first.
