A member asked:

Postpartum and no period. could i have ovarian cysts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible or normal: The postpartum period usually extends for 6 weeks after the birth. Some women will have menstrual periods during this time and some won't. Breastfeeding can delay the onset of periods.
