how long after having a baby by c-section should it be before you have your period?

Question

I had a c-section on the 20th of July and bled for 2 1/2 weeks, was that my period or should i have another one. When do you start counting for the 28 day cycle? Please help...i want to know if i will have my period when i go for my six week postpartum check up.

Answer 1

varies from women to women, and depends on if you breastfeed or not. If you only breastfeed (no formula), the chances of getting a period is extremely unlikely. Regardless, the change of you get your period at your 6 week postpartum checkup is next to 0. Whether you had a c-section or natural birth has nothingn to do with it, It's how your body reacts to the pregnancy hormones being gone.

Answer 2

I've had 2 sections & bleed 4-7 weeks afterwards, it's not your period. A normal cycle will begin after breastfeeding & if not breastfeeding, about 3 months later. Get some books and start reading.

Answer 3

It depends on whether or not you are breastfeeding. If you are breastfeeding you most likely will not have your period until you stop. ( I have a 4 month old and have not had a period just the bleeding after birth) If you are not breastfeeding your cycle should have returned to normal.

Answer 4

I bleed for almost 4 weeks and the following week after, got my period and have been normal since. Everyone is different, tho.

Answer 5

i did not have a real era after my section till my son became 5 months previous. this is bc i became on BF danger-free BC till he stopped BF at 4 months then i began Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. the distinction contained in the birth control made me not have one till eventually then.

Answer 6

If you're breastfeeding, you may not have another period until you stop.
That's how it worked with my mom both times, she loved it.

Answer 7

about nine month
