Women who don't breastfeed find that their cycles resume very quickly -- as early as four to ten weeks after childbirth. If, however, you meet the following three criteria, then your chances of ovulating are only about two percent:
Your menses have not returned
You are fully or nearly fully breastfeeding
Your baby is less than six months old
If you wanted to have a safe and natural method of contraception during these first six months, you could use the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM).
The first criteria of LAM is that you have not resumed menstruating. What this means in practice is that any vaginal bleeding before the 56th day is almost always anovulatory (and therefore can be ignored), assuming you are fully or nearly fully breastfeeding. Any bleeding after the 56th day should be considered a sign of resumed ovulation.

Also, you just had a child and didn't have a period for 9 months, so it will take a while to get back to normal, almost like when you first start your period.
