After having a baby how long does it take
for your cycle to get back to normal? I
had a baby 3 1/2 months ago, I am not
nursing and my cycle has been weird, last
month it was 3 days late, but this month
so far it is 6 days late, I am not sure if
I may be pregnant. I am taking a test in
the morning, but I am kind of scared,
because I just feel like I may be
pregnant, but I keep thinking that I was
late last month, so that may be all it
is... So my question to everyone...How
long does it take for your cycle to get
back to normal after having a baby, while
not nursing??Please help if you have any
ideas!!!!

Honestly every woman is different. I
didnt breast feed either and my period was
twice as heavy there on out, but it came
normally after it started up again about 4
weeks after .Jacob was born.

After my daughter was born I didn't bleed
at all- thats cause I was pregnant! Lol.
My doc calculated my last period as six
weeks after my daughter was born (even
though I never bled) which meant I
ovulated when she was 8 weeks old.
When I had my scan they calculated I was
7-8 weeks but there was alot of confusion
as we didn't know my lmp. The ultrasound
later on worked it out though.
You can get pregnant more or less the
month after the baby was born but the
reason I didn't know was that it can take
a few months for your period to get back
into a routine.
After my son was born my periods were
exactly like yours. Then I had the coil
put in which messed it up even more, then
when I had the coil took out as it was
causing problems I fell pregnant again!
Lol.
