3 mos. postpartum and not getting regular period?

Question

i had a baby almost 3 mos. ago. I stopped bleeding 2 weeks after i had my baby then began my period 2 weeks later. I had my period for about 4 days which was normal before i got pregnant. I havent had my period since. I had my 6 week check up but it was a little late so i was about 9 weeks post partum. I began taking bc that day and i have yet to get my period since my baby was 4 weeks old. She is now 11 weeks. Is it because i started taking bc or is my cycle not going to be normal for awhile... When i had my 3 yr. old it was right on time every month....

Answer 1

Everyone is different, but mine was not normal for quite some time either, the bc is probably going to take a while to help put you back on a normal period as well...but its definately normal.  

Answer 2

after the lochia, the first bit of bleeding you had could have just been breakthrough bleeding, where your body tries to put itself back into a rhythm, instead of a real period. for some women, it can take up to 6 months to have a normal period. everyone is different and i'm sure you will return to normal soon.  

Answer 3

its normal just talk to your doctor about it=)

Answer 4

I had off and on bleeding after our babies were born, and after our first didn't get my period until 6 months post pardum. I would just call your doctor and explain it to her and see what she suggests/says. I'm sure it's probably totally normal. Our bodies go through h**l and after the baby is born, it takes a while for everything to return to normal.
