Strange question when coming from a man, especially from Crash.
Crash, who has no children, does have a question he will not ask his
girlfriend, mother, or anyone else in person; he is too easy to embarrass. I am writing a post-apocalyptic story that I am trying to keep as realistic as possible but I have a sticking point and my Google Fu has failed me. I would like to know how long after giving birth would a woman start menstruating again. Furthermore does age have anything to do with it, specifically a 15 year old? Thank you for any information you share with me. Crash Please note that Crash is not Crash's real name; please excuse Crash for not telling his real name. |

Why does Crash refer to himself in the third person? What, are you Yoda?
I'm sure that Google has given you information as accurate as is possible. There is no set answer. You cannot say, "A woman will start to menstruate 8 weeks (or 8 months) after she gives birth." Every woman is different. Some women, regardless of age, do not menstruate for a year or longer, while they are breastfeeding their baby as a sole means of feeding. Others will breastfeed just as much and often, and get their periods back after 2-3 months. If the mother isn't breastfeeding for some reason, then her periods would likely return after 6-8 weeks. Age does not have anything to do with it. -- Jamie Clark "Crash" crashblade101@no spam.hotmail.com wrote in message ...

Thank you for any information you share with me. Crash, in a post-apocalyptic world, moms would be breastfeeding(right?), and when you breastfeed it is very common to go up to 15 months or later with no period. Not all breastfeeding women take so long, but most that I know do. It could be anywhere from a month afterwards. Also, lots of times, when the baby begins sleeping through the night, breastfeeding is reduced and that kick-starts the mom's cycle. So if the baby's sleeping factors into your story, there you go. That's alot of info but when I read a story/book, I like it to make sense. And age really doesn't factor into it, that I've seen. And I would advise you not to be embarassed about things like that lol Marie |

It's amazing how complex the human body is. Thank you very much Crash In addition to frequency and duration of breastfeeding, other factors, such as body fat percentage and the speed at which a woman regains lean muscle mass may be involved in the timing of a return to fertility. In western cultures, women who breastfeed exclusively tend to have a delayed return of fertility, but it is usually not delayed as much as in some aboriginal cultures where breastfeeding may cause the average spacing between children to be as much as 4 years apart. Westernization and urban life tend to cause a culture's birthrate to rise dramatically. --Betsy |

A 15 year old may not get a regular period after child birth for any where between 3 and 6 months, if breast feeding or at one point was breast feeding it may be evn longer. at the 6-8 week check up the MD will do an exam and any concerns could be addressed there.****also***it is very easy to get pregnant the entire 1st year after child birth, very easy**** |

Now I really see why I could not find a specific answer because it's not 42 day and 11 minutes. The actually answer is 'typically 1.5 - 15 months but 48 months is not unheard of'…that's nearly 4 years of variance; wow. I was hoping for an easy answer but I guess I should have realized that with something as complex as human reproduction there is no simple answer. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Crash |
