How soon does bleeding stop then my period begin?

[LionsandBears]

I'll give you my experience. It's different for everyone. I think I bled on and off for about 20 days after birth. PPAF arrived just after 12 weeks. I don't know when I ovulated because I wasn't temping and had other things on my mind. I took a pill to suppress lactation as I couldn't face my milk coming in without a baby to feed. That may have affected the hormones a bit.

I'm now just over 5 months since birth and I'm in my 3rd 'normal' cycle since PPAF. Ovulation seems all over the place but the cycle length is back to normal.

HTH and again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

thanks tashy-

yeh i had my milk come but had none come out..... i was just advised to massage my boobs in the warm showers and to avoid having any milk come out......

other than that i guess im just waiting for this to stop. I have been very busy and flat out since giving birth, so i guess a bit more rest will help with my recovery..

thanks spring -

yeh i plan to find a very good gyno or female doctor, as i am not too happy with the obs at the hospital i had my birth at. As they made some comments to possibly "missing something" regarding my daughters birth. Which i am not too happy with.

So i guess once this bleeding stops and then i get my period again, this is when i will start my cycle again and start ovulating?

just so i understand it all thankyou for all the hlep
