I'm interested in this too, I suppose it depends how long you lose lochia for too?

After c section was 6 months as I was breastfeeding but I did wean to solids then. With second one which wasnt c section and breastfeeding was 19 months. Longer you breastfeed exclusively longer it stays away (for most).

i got mine 7 weeks and 1 day pp. the first few days were a little heavier then normal, but from what i've heard and read the first period after birth is usally heavier and more painful.

I hadn't got mine when I had my 6 week check up and after that appointment I started taking the contraceptive pill again, so it came once I finished that first pack of pills x

It took 7 months! A bit longer than usually considering I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months and even then, I was supplementing with formula. Did anyone notice an extra pain from C-section when getting that first period again? A few times, I swear I could feel where the incision is on my uterus twinge a few times. It could all be in my head though! LOL

with my first one, it was 8 or 9 months before I got a cycle. With my second one, I bleed like crazy until about 10 weeks after the csection. Stopped for 2 weeks, and then started my period. And its been coming every 32 days since.
