When did you get your period back after giving birth?

Question

And were you breast feeding or pumping or no? I heard breast feeding can cause a delay in getting your period back.
Would the delay in your period mean you don’t ovulate?
First time mom

Answer

4 months, I breastfeed but work so I have to pump too. Period happens as a result of ovulation when no sperm fertilizes the egg. My period has been weird since baby but on time with my cycle before baby.

Answer

I breastfed for 22 months. I got my period back at 9 months post partum.

Answer

Had 3 kids. Breastfed exclusively with all three. Got my period almost exactly 6-7 weeks after birth. 
No delay at all for me.
