The Return Of Your Period After Giving Birth. Of women who choose not to breastfeed, approximately 80% find their period has returned within 10 weeks. Breastfeeding can delay menstruation and ovulation for 20 weeks or more, but it is not uncommon to find your period returning sooner, or much later, than 20 weeks. There are differences among individual women and their hormone levels, so itâs difficult to say when a period will recommence after childbirth.
Here's a guide to contraception after the birth. It depends on how you're feeding your baby. Your periods will return any time from about six weeks to three months after your baby's birth if you are formula-feeding or combining breast and formula feeds. You are fertile two weeks before you have your period. So even if you're not ready to have sex just yet, you will need to start using contraception from three weeks to four weeks after your baby's birth (Cole 2011) .
