Is it okay to not have menstruation for 2 years during breastfeeding?

During the entire process of pregnancy, the estrogen level in a woman's body is quite different from usual. Therefore, normally the uterus and ovaries will not ovulate during pregnancy. After giving birth, the body's estrogen level will decrease, and the function of the ovaries will slowly recover. The recovery time varies from person to person, so some women will have their periods during breastfeeding, while others will not. So what if you don’t have your period during breastfeeding?

If most women choose to exclusively breastfeed after giving birth, it will affect the ovulation period of the uterus and ovaries. Generally, women who choose to exclusively breastfeed will have a late menarche, and may not even have their period during breastfeeding. In fact, it is normal not to have menstruation during breastfeeding, and most people do not have menstruation during breastfeeding. Women who do not have menstruation should not worry about their health, as everyone's menstrual period is different.

In addition, many women do not want to have their menarche during breastfeeding. Some folk sayings are that the milk secreted after the menarche is not good for the baby. Therefore, the practice in some areas is to wean the baby once the menarche occurs. In fact, whether the menstruation comes or not has little effect on the milk. Even if the menarche occurs, breast milk is the most nutritious food for the baby, so there is no need to wean the baby.

Will I ovulate if I don't have my period during breastfeeding?

A woman's body will undergo a major change after giving birth, which is very different from the pregnancy stage, so some people will have their periods sooner, while others will have their periods later.
