5 months for me. I was partially BF. I BF 2 times day & pumped 3 times a day until 4 months PP. I dropped the morning pumping in the beginning of Nov & got my first AF the end of November.

Re: how long did it take to get your period after giving birth?

I think I may have gotten something at 6 weeks pp, but it was only for one day. I am BF mostly and supplementing so I have no idea when I will get one. I get cramps a lot and I think I am going to start, but nothing yet.

Re: how long did it take to get your period after giving birth?

Ds was ebf and af came at 6 months. My sister bf all 3 kids and it didn't come until 2 weeks after she completely weaned. So she didn't get it until the were 18 months old. SO it depends on the person.
