I had my baby 5 months ago and I still havent started my period. I don't breast feed and before I was pregnant my periods were regular and normal. Should I be worried? Is everything ok?

What can I do next?

This is a question for your OB/GYN. Everyone is different, but better to ask the professionals.

Having a baby throws your hormones way out of whack, and it can take a long time for them to return to normal. I wouldn't be concerned, but I would see your doctor just to talk with him/her about how you might be able to get things back on track.

answers from New York on

After you've given birth you will bleed vaginally, whether you had a vaginal birth or a cesarean section. This is the site of your placenta healing and is known as lochia. This bleeding will last 6-8 weeks after you have had a baby and is not considered a return to your normal menstrual cycle.
Once this bleeding has stopped, you may notice that your first period after you have a baby follows fairly shortly, usually within a few weeks. About 70% of women who are not breastfeeding will have their period by 12 weeks postpartum. If you are nursing you will typically not have your normal period for many months, depending on the amount and frequency of nursing and the amount of supplemental feedings, if any.
No need to worry, just call your doctor.
