With both kids it was before my postpartum check, although I did breastfeed DD for about 2 weeks, so it might've been closer to 6 weeks with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287857 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:50:05 +0000 Sweet T 287857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I BFed for 4 weeks. The PP bleeding lasted for 5 weeks. I had a heavy discharge for a week and then got my period at 7 weeks PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287854 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:48:15 +0000 littlek 287854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I BF and I got my period at 2.5 months. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287789 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 19:39:31 +0000 heffalump 287789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember exactly but it did take awhile. I still did skin to skin often and for some reason I think that kept my milk from drying up completely, so my period stayed away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287782 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 19:16:27 +0000 loveisstrange 287782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5 months pp and haven't gotten it yet.

LO is 13 weeks and I haven't gotten my period yet. I think I might call my doctor soon as back at the end of July she said I should expect my period "in the next few weeks". Hmm, so I'm not sure what's "normal". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287776 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 19:07:44 +0000 rachiecakes 287776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still breastfeeding and first period was 7.5 months pp, right after DS picked up a third feeding of solids a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287759 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 18:47:13 +0000 stargal 287759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my milk never realy came in and i had to give up breastfeeding after a couple weeks bc lo kept losing weight big time, i reallly really struggle with it. i got my period back at 7 weeks after having him. it sucked i was hoping for a couple more weeks period free but nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287756 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 18:42:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 287756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I BF and got my period at 4 months pp, but my Bff does not breast feed and she got her period at 7 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-bf-moms-how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-your-period#post-287751 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 18:31:04 +0000 chrispygal 287751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a little over 2 months old and I have yet to get my period. I had minor spotting one day, but nothing since and that was a couple weeks ago. I know breastfeeding can delay menstruation post delivery, but I only lasted a couple of weeks (it never came in). How long did it take you to get your period after delivery? Does anyone know what the "normal" range is? </p>
