Post Parton the resumption of periods can be 6 weeks to ) months due to breast feeding . This periods are usually anovulatory and ovulation is unpredictable due to high prolactin level during breast feeding phase . My advice is to keep a menstrual calendar to keep a track of your periods and use an effective contraception to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Please consult Online for better understanding and help.
