 How long after giving birth did you get your first period? 
I know this has been asked before, but I did a search and so many posts came up with the word period in them.
  I am not breastfeeding anymore--stopped almost two weeks ago.  My son was born on March 11, 2006--I am just curious!  Thanks

 Re: How long after giving birth did you get your first period? 
I'm convinced I'm pregnant.  It's been almost 8 months and NOTHING.  I weaned Alex almost 3 months ago.
  I have a Dr. appointment next week so hopefully I'll find out what's going on then!

 Re: How long after giving birth did you get your first period? 
I got mine back around 6-7 weeks.  I bottle fed.  It sucked because I bled postpartum for a long time and then got my period back so I felt like I was constantly bleeding
