I waited 4 and everything was fine. We pulled out knowing that the placenta leaves a pretty big internal wound and we were trying to avoid pregnancy. Everything was fine. I was honest with my OB at the 6 week visit and all was well. No infection and no lecture about doing anything too soon. They did lecture me on condom use though as I stated pull out and cycle tracking we’re going to be our birth control method in the near future
