Hi everyone,
Because of all the wrecked hormones, and the imbalance created in the body. Imbalance in our hormones, and a disturbed menses is pretty normal with post-partum women, because the body is still trying to cope with all the heavy boost of the pregnancy hormones. It is said, that it usually takes up to another year before the body of the mother is completely on her normal routines of menses. It is thus best advisable to breastfeed until a minimum duration of 6 months, and to not consume any birth pills. Doing any of these can make your menses stay in an abnormal condition for a longer period than in the women who follow these above said rules. Some women only breastfeed for a very less duration, such as a month or two, and start the birth pills right away. Their menses and hormonal system is beyond repair in many cases. We must let our body stay as much natural as possible.I've heard it takes longer when breastfeeding, but that was for the cycle to return at all.

I'm formula feeding. I only made it 8 weeks breastfeeding before I dried up.

Are you breastfeeding? Or formula feeding? That might make a difference. I did not breast feed and my cycles returned regularly when she was three months old. I think it takes time. I've heard it takes longer when breastfeeding, but that was for the cycle to return at all. If your cycles haven't regulated by the time you get your new insurance, it might be a good idea to check with your GYN.
