Dear Anon,
Thank you for reaching out to us, today.
Of women who choose not to breastfeed, approximately 80% find their period has returned within 10 weeks. Breastfeeding can delay menstruation and ovulation for 20 weeks or more, but it is not uncommon to find your period returning sooner, or much later, than 20 weeks.
It sounds like your period may be on its way. It's hard to say exactly when your periods will be regular again once they begin. It can be different for each woman.
