Return of AF

[Tyige]

Hi
I was wondering when Af should have returned... I had my baby 10 weeks ago and don't breastfeed and i still haven't got it. I stopped bleeding 4 weeks after I had her if that has anything to do with it. Should I be going to the Dr or is this normal?

I wouldn't worry about it. I got mine 10 weeks to the day after having Danielle and I was part Bfing and part on formula. One of the mum's at Mother's Group is fully BFing and she got her's back 8 weeks after birth. As Emma said - everyone is different but if you are really concerned a trip to the doctor can't hurt.

I asked the dr last night at my son's appt, He said if I still havent got AF in a month to go back and see him.

As the others have said it varies from woman to woman, personally i got AF back when Tarleha was 6 weeks old (i only had post-partum for 3 weeks). Personally i wouldn't want to wish them to arrive as i found them worse than before pregnancy.
It doesn't hurt though to get it checked out, i was the oppisite and went to make sure it was my period as i wasn't happy that it arrived so soon.
