Some examples of substrates used (also known as chromogens) are AEC (3-Amino-9-EthylCarbazole), or DAB (3,3'-Diaminobenzidine). Use of one of these reagents after exposure to the necessary enzyme (e.g., horseradish peroxidase conjugated to an antibody reagent) produces a positive immunoreaction product.
1. Know When You Ovulate after Childbirth. Most women experience an extended period of bleeding immediately after giving birth. The bleeding will get lighter and lighter, lasting about six weeks. It is extremely unlikely that a woman will become pregnant during this time, although it is not impossible.
If you're formula-feeding your baby, you may start your periods again any time between five weeks and three months after giving birth. So you could be fertile just three weeks after having your baby. Learn more about contraception after having a baby.
