Dear Dametria:
In ladies who are not breast feeding or using contraceptive medications, menstrual periods return after 4 to 8 weeks. Thus, it fits that this is your menstrual flow.
The menstrual periods may be irregular when they first return, likely because ovulation has not been re-established.
When women have a heavy menstrual flow, that in itself can make them feel light-headed, weak, tired.
