Ok spent ages reading up old text books (used to be a nurse) and internet sites about this 21 days thing, you can def become pregnant before that, however I think the confusion comes because you can only start using contracetive such as the implant from 21 days post partum.

I dont know what the risks are of becoming pregnant before that but its def possible as i know at least3 people who bacame pregnant BEFORE there 6 week check!
