For some women, especially those who've been taking the Pill for a long time, it may take several months to a year for their menstrual cycle to get back on track.

the menstrual cycle stops for 9 months becuase the lining of the uterus (period) is being used to help the growing cell (baby) so it doesnt shed.

it all depends on what your cycle was like before you started the shot. if you were irregular when u started then chances are u will be irregular when u get off. it may take up to 2 yrs or more for your body to get back to where it was before the shot. You may want to bring this up with ur OB the next time you visit. I totally understand wat you are sayin i was on the shot for 5 yrs and  now its going on 2 since i have been off and the time of periods change sometimes i have one and some times i dont. but talk to your OB

Yeah, my stomach was still big after birth.  It's because your uterus is strecthed so big, so once the baby is out, your uterus is just there.  It goes down after a little while...it really will go down faster if you are breastfeeding!  : )

Yes.  You can still have a period after you've gotten pregnant, although generally it will be lighter or shorter in duration.  If you're still concerned that you might be pregnant, try an over the counter pregnancy test kit, but wait until your period has stopped before using it.

It depends on how many days your cycle is.  Everyone's cycle is different as far as how many days it lasts.  If you have a 28 day cycle, then your period will come again on June 15th.

All OB/GYN will advise you to wait the obligatory 6-8 week period, depending on how large the episitome (the cut from the vagina to the anal region [perineal area], which allows the babies head to push through) was at the time of delivery.\n\nDoing the dirty sooner than the allotted time period, could possibly infect the 'opened' cervix lining that is trying to recover from the birthing experience. Doing it at 2 weeks, as suggested is risky, but if you hafta--do it with a CONDOM.\n\nBy the way it takes 3 years for the womb to go back to it's original size after delivery.  It is adivisable and healthier for a woman to wait 3 yrs before birthing again. Less chance of a woman having that flabby extra skin, after consecutive multiple births.\n\nGood Luck and prosper...;*!*;...

maybe ask your doctor, but it happens because during and after pregnancy your hormones are all out of whack and trying to get back to normal..

If the test said that you are not pregnant then it's telling you the truth. The reason that you may not have started yet is because of going off of the birth control. It will take anywhere from a month to a few months for your periods to be back to normal.

Starting your period again after the initial 4-8 weeks of bleeding afterwards isn't fun.  Heavy bleeding is extremely normal and your next period should be more regular.  However, it is NOT normal to bleed so heavy you soak through one pad in an hour continued for several hours.

Some women bounce back pretty quickly after a miscarriage, but the norm is a few months, so this is normal.  It can typically take a couple months or so for your cycles to get back to normal.

Girl, if  you were in good physical condition before you got preganant, you should not have any trouble getting back on the track even a week after your baby is born. I was squatting at 8 months pregnant and back in the gym 1 week after my daughter was born. Ask your doctor. just run light at first. Good luck girl! you'll be back before you know it!

I beleive most times that nursing stops ovulation, therefore you won't have your period.  However, if you don't want to have another child right away, it is a good idea to use birth control - as you can start to ovulate at any time.  My friends have started to have their period about 1-2 months after they stopped nursing.  However, be prepared for anything - after having a baby a woman's hormones can be all over the place!

yeah your periods just go all over the place after you have taken it.  you might wait ages for a period, or you might get a period for ages.  If it goes past 10 days tho go and see a Dr.  Your next period will also come when it feels like and it may take a couple of cycles to get into a routine again.
