What are the signs of ovulation during breastfeeding?

Women do not ovulate during pregnancy, but they will ovulate when they are about to enter the lactation period. Because breastfeeding women need to secrete breast milk to feed their babies, it is very likely that they will not have their menstruation or their menstruation will be irregular. Many mothers will think that they have not ovulated. If you have sex without taking contraceptive measures at this time, you are likely to get pregnant again. So, what are the signs of ovulation while breastfeeding?

For most people, ovulation does not cause any symptoms or signs, so contraception needs to be used every time you have sex to avoid pregnancy again.

Generally speaking, the onset of menstruation is taken as the standard. About 70% of mothers have menstruation accompanying ovulation. Of course, there are also some women who ovulate but do not have menstruation due to breastfeeding or the fluctuation of progesterone in their bodies.

The recovery of ovulation after delivery is related to whether the mother breastfeeds and the length of breastfeeding. For mothers who do not breastfeed after delivery, ovulation is rare within four weeks. About 10%-15% ovulate within 6 weeks after delivery, and 30% ovulate within 3 months after delivery. Ovulation resumes later in lactating women, usually 4-6 months after delivery, but some may ovulate as early as 6 weeks after delivery. In addition, the age and obesity of the mother may also have a certain impact. Data from Japan show that for mothers over 34 years old and obese, the time of the first ovulation in the postpartum period tends to be delayed.

The time of resumption of menstruation after childbirth is also related to whether the mother is breastfeeding. For those who do not breastfeed after delivery, menstruation can generally resume 6-8 weeks after delivery. The first 1-2 menstruations are mostly anovulatory menstruation, which will resume ovulatory menstruation after 3 months. The percentage of menstrual recovery in lactating women gradually increases with time, reaching 70% by 9 months after delivery.
