Delivered my baby 2 months back, fully breastfeeding. Still no period and im confused if this is normal or i should expect it soon. Mommies who BF, kab aaya ur first period?
After my C-section, I had lochia bleeding for about 6 weeks, and then my actual periods returned at 5 months because I was formula feeding. Just let your stitches heal and don't rush it.
I totally understand how confusing this postpartum phase can be. For me, it took almost 8 months to get my cycle back, so please be gentle on your beautiful body.
I logged everything on my tracker app, and my first period came back exactly 7 months postpartum. The app showed my cycle was a bit irregular initially, which is completely normal.
If you are breastfeeding, it can take anywhere from 6 months to a year. No need to buy expensive test kits every month, just keep using basic protection to avoid back-to-back pregnancy.
I'm still pregnant in my 3rd trimester and honestly, enjoying this period-free life while it lasts! Not looking forward to managing pads and a newborn together, haha.
After my previous loss, my body took a long time to normalize. Please give yourself time, and if it doesn't return even after you stop breastfeeding, definitely talk to your doctor.
Getting your body back to normal is such an emotional journey. My periods returned around 10 months postpartum and honestly I felt so relieved, like my body was finally mine again.
