A member asked:

I had a baby 4 months ago and stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago. when should i have my first period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can start about now: After delivering a baby, a woman will not resume menstrual periods for months. The time could be a few or many months. It varies a great deal among women. Often, a non-breastfeeder gets her menses after 2-4 months, a typical breast-feeder has her period after 6-8 months, and the few exclusively breastfeeding moms might go a year without menses. A woman can get pregnant before first menses returns!
