Will I have my period while breastfeeding?

Women usually do not have menstruation during the breastfeeding stage. Due to the physical reasons during lactation and physiological factors, people will not have menstruation for a short period of time. As the postpartum recovery time slowly approaches, there will usually be signs of menstruation and ovulation. The time for menstrual recovery varies from person to person due to different physical conditions, so most people will have menstruation about six months after delivery, even during lactation.

Will I have my period while breastfeeding?

Generally speaking, for those who are not breastfeeding, menstruation usually resumes 6-10 weeks after delivery, and ovulation resumes on average around 10 weeks after delivery. The menstrual cycle of breastfeeding women is delayed, and some do not have menstruation during the postpartum period. On average, ovulation resumes 4-6 months after delivery. For those who resume menstruation later after delivery, ovulation often occurs before the first menstruation.

The resumption of menstruation varies from individual to individual, and generally resumes around 6 months after delivery. Breastfeeding can delay the resumption of menstruation for some people. Among women who fully breastfeed, about 1/3 resume menstruation within 3 months after delivery, and the earliest is 8 weeks after delivery, but some people do not resume menstruation until one to one and a half years after delivery.

Some people don't even have menstruation during the entire lactation period. Among women who do not breastfeed after giving birth, about 91% resume menstruation within 2 months after giving birth, generally 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth. For some people, it is 4 to 6 months after giving birth. The time of resuming menstruation and first ovulation is about 30 to 40 days after giving birth. The time of menstruation resumption and first ovulation of some non-breastfeeding people is similar to that of breastfeeding women.
