When to expect return of period if formula feeding?

If this is the wrong place to post please feel free to move it

I'm just curious as I don't remember from my daughters when approximately I should expect my period to return. My Oh and I are currently not protecting from another pregnancy but I haven't received a period yet and I figure if it doesn't show up by a certain amount of weeks I should probably test. My little man is currently almost 5 weeks old.

Thanks

I had postpartum bleeding on/off for about a month-6 weeks. Went on the pill at my 6 week gyno appt and my period came back like 2-3 weeks following that...was very heavy at first worse than what it used to be..I think thats because I had never been on the pill before though.

Thank you for answering.

My post baby bleeding stopped after 2 weeks. Seems like a waiting game now lol

With my first it was 6 weeks to the day. My second was 4 or 5 weeks....exactly one day after my PP bleeding stopped....go figure.

With my son I FF'd almost from the beginning. My post partum bleeding stopped around 5 1/2 weeks and my first AF arrived at about 8 weeks. Not much of a break in between. My first AF was AWFUL. How, that was awful. But my post partum bleeding was horrendous as well.

I'm FF'ing again and stopped bleeding at about 5ish weeks again. Definitely curious as to when AF will show this time. Probably should start stocking up on tampons. Haven't needed those in awhile! lol My p.p. bleeding was no where near as bad this time so hoping first AF is a bit more manageable.
