    First period- not breastfeeding

    Not sure if this is the right area but wondering how long after birt h did you completely stop lochia and get your period again (not breastfeeding)?

    I didn't BF my first two. Well, DS comfort sucked for a couple of months but I had next to no milk and he was primarily FF. After DD1 is bled PP for 5-6 weeks and my cycle started 4 weeks later. With DS I bled for about 5 weeks, cycle began four weeks later. After that period I had a Mirena IUD inserted and bled for 10 weeks. I had a couple more light periods after that, then nothing.

    This time, I am BF and comp FF. My lochia lasted about 5 weeks and I have not yet had a period. Miss P is 13 months old.
