Post Menstrual Cycle Bleeding – The Return Of Your Period After Giving Birth

Did you know that the medical gold standard for determining a woman’s fertile window assumes that her most fertile days are her ovulation date and the five preceding days. For any of the apps, Setton and his colleagues plugged in a typical cycle of 28 days with four menses days. My daughter is 8 months old day and I started my period when she was 2 months old I Saw it again when she was 3 months old and since thence I’ve not seen it again. I stopped breastfeeding at 2 months. Do you know an answer to a following question. Is it normal? Hi. On p of that, immediately following the birth of your baby, your blood loss could be bright light red and slightly heavier than a normal period -though it shouldn’t exceed what can be managed with a sanitary pad almost any fourhours.

Actually the loss and blood flow will decrease over the next week, and the colour will alter to a paler light red, after that, a ‘brownishred’ colour. Please refer to your midwife or doctor, if it does. Pls help. Besides, I just had my first period on November 09 2015 after giving birth and it just ended this December 06 2015, my concern is it normal and when do I get fertile and when should be my next period coming?

So, I dont really the trouble is if my period start it won’t stop and I did visit the doctor but they say it’s normal but I am worried coz my period won’t stop for a month until I take a tablet.

After I had my my first 2 kids my period came back the month after the six weeks and they have been regular but after my third I stopped bleeding a few days before the 6 weeks was up after that, got my period back that month and it was on its normal day but after that period it seems my period starts when it wants. Actually the last 2 months it started when having intercourse which I reckon is a little weird. I had my first period 6 weeks after giving birth and I must have had a period this month like 4 days ago and still haven’t gotten it. I had my baby 2 months ago and DO NOT breastfeed. Sounds familiardoesn’t it? Just wondering if someone knows or has had similar experience. My little ones are 11 months apart and same thing happened, I’m pretty sure I got my first period 6 weeks after therefore it never came back and I was pregnant.

I’m wondering if its normal to be irregular after giving birth when not breast feeding. I’m concerned as I had a baby a year ago as well. I’m 14 months post partum. I started spotting lasting only a few days, must I start preparing for regular periods? I had 2 periods early on and nothing until now a year later. I’m still nursing at least 5 times at night and 4 throughout the day. Also, exactly when you resume ovulating is a problem to estimate. Some womenmight not ovulate until they stop breastfeeding altogether. For awhileer you continue to breastfeed and the fewerfeeds your baby has, the greateryour chance of ovulation. Have has it for three weeks now. Dark brown discharge. Since after that, I have my regular period nearly any month, I had my son 12/21/15.

Some women find their period returns the very next month after thebirth and at the other end of the scale, some women don’tmenstruate until well after twelve months. For awhileer than that! I breastfed my first born until she was a little over two and hereupon fell pregnant with baby number two. It’s difficult to say when a period will recommence after childbirth, for the most part there’re differences amongindividualwomen and their hormone levels. Oftentimes when all suddenly feeds had stopped, I didn’t havemy period until my second born was 20 months old. Yes, that’s right! My wife had breastfed our baby for three months, from April to June She had her period for three days.

We had intercourse June 30th and July 3rd.

She stopped breastfeeding for any longer being that she will start to attend class again.

Contact your midwife or doctor for advice, I’d say in case you’re worried.

Light blood loss mightlast for about6 weeks after the birth and isn’t a cause for concern -it differs for any woman, the blood flow should stop after a week or so. Also, must I consult a doc. Really surprised the period came out, please is it normal? Basically, I had my baby on 1st May 2015, had my period on 11th of June and am exclusively breastfeeding my baby without water. It’s uncommon to get your period right after giving birth, especially when exclusively breastfeeding. Some women find their period can be a bit erratic and irregular for some time after giving birth, sometimes you can bleed if there had been a retained placenta.

All the best! In the event there might be another reason for the bleeding, maybe just check with your doctor. Need are formula feeding ever since, my fiancée and I had intercourse three weeks after giving birth but I ok two pregnancy test both negative, and now it’s been almost three months and still no period. By the way, the chance that you will ovulate in the first six weeks ‘post birth’ is extremely slight. Notice, it’s a great time to discuss starting contraceptives, if that’s what you wantto do, when you see your obstetrician or midwife for your six week ‘postbirth’ appointment.

I asked my Dr about it n she said it’s uncertain to say when will I get my mensuration cycle started.

Really worried abt Surely it’s everything ok with? I had very low bleeding on 15th April but dat ws just for 2 days n after dat not mensis. My wife gave birth of a sweet child on 05 dot 02 dot 2015 but her mensuration some amount of time stop some amount of time start. IPILL tablets …the mensuration problem still now contuning. Besides, my Dr recommended me waiting ‘2 3’ months after for my body to heal good before we tried for another baby. Oftentimes you may seek for to talk to your on or midwife and see what they recommend. He said it will increase my chances of a healthier pregnancy and that the baby would have better odds. Notice that either way it should be best to seek advice from a doctor.

Hope this helps.

If your wife was bleeding from after the delivery of her child in January to now she may need to see a doctor.

So in case she is breast feeding this can prompt bleeding as the uterus contracts. That said, now I did have a light period 3 weeks after my 6 wk check up. So it’s normal?? For instance, I was feeling bloated and gassy and cramping recently. On p of this, we use protection. Anyway, I had baby 5 months ago and I nurse baby often. With all that said… Well the symptoms of a period each month but nothing happens. Did you ever understand what was causing it?

I was regular after I gave birth on 11/03/15 after that, this time around I am getting a brownish discharge for the last 5 days. I was thinking it therefore my period cycle has become any 15 days n normal for a whileer than usual. I delivered my baby boy on feb 3rd, I actually bled about 7 weeks post delivery. I’m sure you heard about this. I used to have 27 day cycle n was always on clock. Please help!!! I breastfeed my baby exclusively. Is this normal?

It can take a while to come back especially if she is breastfeeding.

I also highly recommend acupuncture with an experienced Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, someone who specialises in fertility. She could get a checkup with a local doctor simply ask for hormone blood tests to see what’s going on. It’s great at regulating menstrual cycles. Is she still breastfeeding? There’s more info about it here.

Best of luck! For example, I had a back to back pregnancy 2011 baby girl 2012 girl and ny last was a boy Jul 31 of 2013 for about the last year I have gotten my period on time like always any 28 days but now its jumpin I will get it 23 months on time almost any 28 day therefore I will skip a month the it will come the first week of that followin month….or it be like ‘6 12’ days late.why?

I just had my period back again last month now I am 3 days delayed.

Is it normal to lose your period again after just getting it back?

I am exclusively breastfeed and no, I don’t think I am pregnant. My period had always been a 28 days circle and we use the natural save and unsave days as a control method. I was expecting the next one on the 30th of may but missed it till now. Needless to say, could it be im pregnant again? I had my baby on the 19/02/She is exclusive fed.

My period started and was regular in march april.

In April 2014 I had a period but nothing since thence.

I had my baby 2/25/I breastfeed for about 3 months. I also crap, feel bloated, and similar like I’m fixing to start but nothing. I’m ready to have another baby but concerned that I won’t be able need to call these irregular bleeding episodes. A well-known fact that is. Same happened with me I take pregnancy test each 72 days just to be sure im not pregnant.

Im also breasfeeding!!!

Please is for a while being that am so scared at the moment.

Marylou I have same problem has yours I gave birth to my baby on 12/06/2014 I didn’t see my period in general until dis February this year and ever since consequently it has bin irregular. Generally, it might come as a spot for one or two days and stop. Anyway, I was in the hospital in January and I was ld its normal. If u pump more than bf you shall not get similar hormonal reactions or overall health responses. That ain’t always true. Of course, it depends on your body, as always. Essentially, the ‘saliva into the breast’ theory hasn’t been proven by science. After 3 a months lip tie and an inverted nipple while pumping and attempting to feed, I actually finally just started exclusively pumping. What HAS been proven is that when you kiss your baby’s face, hand, feet, and stuff you can ingest organisms on the baby’s body that will affect your milk and give them the antibodies they need. Remember, I am not saying the saliva thing ain’t true… I am just saying it hasn’t been proven yet. Even without nursing, you can still produce effective and appropriate milk.

My baby is now 9 months and I still have not gotten a period. By giving birth upright, you open a world of possibilities. My baby is now 9 weeks old and I still have not had a period is this normal. Usually, I am on depo provera but I always had a period when I was on it before. I had my son in Feb I stopped breastfeeding at 5 months. He’s 16 months old now and I STILL have not had a period! Should I be concerned? Hi my girlfriend hasn’t seen her menstrual circle now for 26 months now. It stopped 6 months prior to the birth of our daughter and now after the birth of our daughter its been 20 month without seeing her menstrual circle, is this normal if not whom can for ages being that we are worried. However, the sucking sends signals to yourpituitary to release prolactin, when a baby breastfeeds. Ovulation can be suppressed, if you breastfeed frequently enough to producehigh enough levels of prolactin. I got my menses 7weeks after delivery and it came the next month but it has delayed for one week now.

Am having similar problem. I ok PT twice and the result is negetive could I be pregnant again? Babe, the home test you did was it the ovulation prediction test kit you used? For a male child, ensure no intercourse till u are certain that you are ovulating. Try checking your mucus discharge on a daily basis and when you notice a slimy mucus like egg whitish, you are ovulating, if yes. Write hi I had my baby 12 weeks ago now he is formula feed so I have had my periods a couple of times now but I have noticed I have a slight bleed between periods it’s like a brownish colour after that, turns a pale pink is that normal?

I had my first period ten months after babe came it’s been two months and nothing since feels like it’s coming than doesn’t.

We are striving to have another baby.

Now it’s been exactly 2 months since she saw any blood. One test at the docs office came negative. She got a normal period ten months after baby is born. Now let me tell you something. Exact same issue with my wife. Of course, she will check again soon. There only small but having them everytime I wipe doesn’t seem normal to me. Besides, the last 2 months that I have had it I have had clots in my period this time round it was everytime I wiped. I am a little worried and don’t know what’s happening any advice will be helpful. I don’t breastfeed so I get my period every 24 days which is normal for me.

I also been having migraines and headaches since my period last week. My daughter should be 5 months this months. I still breastfeed him while I also givevhim formula it is my 1st period since pregnancy im 25 yrs old and I am terrified of how heavy And so it’s. I literally have to change tampons every 2 hrs at night I use both tampons and pads because of the heavy flow. I recently had my period two nights ago.after 2 absence years my bany will turn 1 yr old on sept 9th. I was just wondering as I’m starting to worry I had my 1st child in 2013 and I bled like normal after her for a day consequently I stoped and havnt had one since 2years on I have had the implant but was coursing me alot of pain in my lower stomach so had to take it out tryed the pill Witch also coursed me a bunch of pain 4 not months being on the pill and still no bleeding? Hello pls my I have our first child on December 20 and since therefore she couldn’t seen her period till day and she is breastfeeding again we are having unprotected sex pls can she still got pregnant for that without seeing her period?

Pls I really need your seek for to know why that is happening I am not having sex or anything like that so I can’t find out what’s going on? Then, I had my son 2 weeks ago and I was losing my period for like 2 days it stops consequently I get it back In a few days. I’m pretty sure I actually make ‘1015’ ounces MORE than what my baby is taking in by bottle, your supply doesn’t always get negatively affected by pumping and your hormones aren’t always affected for a while because of the exclusive pumping.

I gave birth last November 26, 2014 and weaned my baby on March 6 after that, I had my menstruation on the 26th and lasted for 3 days.

I’m already worried for any longer being that I recently had sex with my husband without using any birth control methods.

My menstruation didn’t came on time ’til now. Is it possible for me to get pregnant after recent childbirth? I got pregnant 3 weeks for any longer because being since a blotted ovum and my daughter is now 10 months and is as healthy as can be. I wanted to wait until I had at least 23 periods before I for awhile being that I was scared of another miscarriage but I was fine and I’m so thankful for my princess. Just keep reading! Your womb may be occupied by God’s lil miracle, when the time is right if it hadn’t happened already. Just think for a moment. I wasn’t no where near as far as you were but I got pregnant rather quickly.

I try to feed him when he wakes in the course of the night and occasionally put him on throughout the day but he does have more bottles now. Now pay attention please. Just wanting a small amount of advice as everything I read says about exclusively bfeeding or not. I breastfeed on and off but mainly bottle feed as baby doesnt get enough from me. Its been really like this for about a month or so. I suffered badly with periods before him and after I had our 3 yr old I bled for 10 months straight after giving birth with about 10 days off in that of that time so you could tell not having one yet is very unusual and I breastfed him for about three months.

Oh and no chance of being pregnant. Hi, I gave birth to our 5th baby 21/05/15 and still havent had a period. Hi….I have a 14 months old baby boy….breast feeding him…its my third child….still not able to see my periods….although in earlier two babies….its had menstrual periods started from 8th months of delivery. I had a baby on 7th of December 2015 and he died immediately after birth, and I haven’t seen my period up till now. Being that there is no baby and I haven’t seen any breast milk write from my boobs, please why haven’t I seen my period? Anybody else have this problem? I gave birth to my daughter on April 9th. Besides, I’ve only had 1 period, and that was on May 24th, since consequently. I haven’t had one since… I’m not breast feeding and I’m on the pill.

I’ll be starting my 3rd pack on Wednesday.

Since so she had been completely formula fed, I only breastfed exclusively for 2 months and comp fed for a month.

I had my baby August 2016 and my period still hasn’t returned. Besides, I have never taken any sort of birth control. Could there be an underlying issue? Eventually, when is it a concern? Doesn’t it sound familiar? I do not breast feed. However, is this normal? I have had very mild menstral cramps over the past few days but nothing more. I had my first baby on 923Had my first period 7 weeks after delivery. Im waiting for my 3rd cycle to start but no sign of a period. I had my second period 5 weeks after ending my first cycle. I was able to spot that I was ovulating again, one day soon after that, To be honest I noticed that I had highly fertile mucus.

An ideal way to understand if you all in all -is by observing your cervical mucus.

I did fall pregnant with my second child on that cycle.

Mucus observation can be used as an ol to avoid conception as well as achieve it. Known I learned about cervical mucus observations, when my first born was two and still occasionally breastfed. Nonetheless, see this article about cervical mucus observations. For sake of example try using an ovulation prediction test kit or charting your temperatures, bolywoord when you have fertile mucus, you can use other ols to confirm ovulation. Please note. With that said, bellyBelly receives many comments each day, and we are unable for a while whenever they are posted. We appreciate your patience awaiting approval. Will my cycle go back to normal??

Two weeks later, To be honest I got my period back.

I used to get my period once every 4 weeks and now, I’ve gotten it the first time after 3 weeks, and the second time after 3 1/2 weeks.

I had a baby six months ago. I was breastfeeding and supplementing with formula for about three months. Definitely. With all that said… I’m pretty sure I always did infant led breastfeeding and weaned when they have been ready, around 5 years, it ok around 1618″ months any time for me. Anyway, I just had a baby 5/8/2015 a bleed for a week heavly a light the following week a had my regular period two weeks later on 6/12/2015 I haven’t gotten my period yet a was having unprotected intercourse taken a pregnancy test a came back negative twice already when I was pregnant with my first baby I didn’t understand until I was 5 months pregnant even with taking a test do you think I identical process or am I just being overly cautious?

I don’t breastfeed an I know that can delay you menstral cycle.

I wean them at exactly 1year old.

My son who is 10 months now has started solid at 6 months but loves breastfeeding a lot. That said, period came 5 months after delivery, my first daughter was tru cs after that, till now I haven’t seen my period. Am worried that my period isn’t out yet. I’m sure you heard about this. I breastfed them exclusively, and introduced solid after 6 month. Anyway, I would say it’s normal! Couldn’t anymore. It is I had my baby May 13, he is a little over 2 months now, and I just started my period today.
