Dr. Anne Hale answered

It varies: Everyone is different and if you are breastfeeing it can take 6 months to have a menses. Also, if there is any hormonal imbalance there can be a delay. Usually, within 2 months you will have a menses if you are not breastfeeding. It is possible to become pregnant even without a menses so be careful.
