Avatar n tn A menstrual cycle starts with ovulating then your period so your menstrual cycle can start at any time generally if you are breastfeeding it comes 2 to 6 months after giving birth. So what I would recommend is have sex as much as possible because you have a 3 day period to get pregnant. And if you want to get pregnant as soon as possible try to get pregnant on your first menstrual cycle.

Avatar f tn s hard to tell when you will have your first menstrual cycle. If you are breastfeeding you may not get it for a little while. Also your hormones are completely changing after the birth of your baby. It's going to take your body awhile to adjust again. I believe I got my first period about 6 or 7 weeks after having my DD but that is also when I stopped breastfeeding too. Good luck and congratulations.
