A member asked:
I had a baby 5 months ago and breastfed for 6 weeks. should i be having a regular menstrual cycle already?

Usually: You should have a period within 1-2 months of stopping lactation or having a baby. I doubt the reason for the lack of a period is serious but see your OB for testing and peace of mind. Best wishes.
