just wandering how long most peoples take to become regular again??? thank you

Answer 1

I always heard that if you breast feed you don't get a period.....lie!  I had my period for 2 months straight after I had my daughter and it took about 6 months to get it back to normal.  Just be careful that that you don't get another "bun in the oven".  

Answer 2

We are still nursing at 7.5 months, haven't had once since she was conceived.

Answer 3

I didn't get my period until I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months. 2 weeks later it came. It didn't become regular though until  my son was around 7 months. I would give it another month or so and it'll probably regulate itself out. It just takes the body a while to get back into the swing of things.  

Answer 4

I breast fed for 8 months with my son...and I finally saw my 1st period when he was about a year old.  Then with my daughter...I couldn't breast feed (well we tried for about a month or so)...but didn't get my period until she was almost 4 months old.  Now it is heavier and last so much longer.
