When will menstration begin after giving birth?

When will menstration begin after giving birth?

I gave birth to my second daughter July 31st 2006.  I stopped breastfeeding at 11 months so I have not breastfeed for 3 months.  I still have not had a menstral cycle.  How long can it take to get your period after giving birth?  I do not remember it taking this long to get my period after my first daughter was born.  I took a pregnancy test a few weeks ago but it was negative.  I have had a lot of vaginal discharge in the last few weeks.  Is that a sign that my period could be coming or more of a sign of pregnancy?

Hello,

Every woman is different in this respect.  I'd see your gyn as soon as possible to be evaluated for secondary amenorrhea.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
