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.
Menstruation after pregnancy is usually delayed by 8-14 weeks in non-nursing mothers and up to 1-2 years in breastfeeding mothers. However, in some women period returns even while breastfeeding. Menstruation after pregnancy may return any time: - Within 2-3 months after delivery if not breastfeeding. - Within a month after weaning from the breast. - Within a month after switching from exclusively breastfeeding to nursing occasionally, supplementing or sleeping through night feedings.
