If you are a breastfeeding mother then it may take a long time (up to 18-20 months) before you get your first period. During this time it is best to get a Copper T fitted because it may be impossible to know which is a safe period. As far as symptoms are concerned they don't signify the onset of periods. You can take symptomatic treatment.
