How long after weaning until menstruation returned?

Question

I weaned my baby five weeks ago and haven't had a return of menstruation yet. I was just wondering an average time frame. I have had negative pregnancy tests.

Answer 1

its different for everyone its when your body feels ready to get pregnant again  

Answer 2

I started spotting daily for weeks and then finally had a period when my daughter was 7 months (she was still breastfeeding) so I got put on birth control.  I've had periods since then and she's almost 10 months and still breastfeeding.  Usually they say it starts back up when the baby is 6 months or older because they aren't breastfeeding as much.  If your tests are neg then it's just taking it's sweet time, so enjoy it while it lasts!
