HI,
Starting normal mestual period after delivery differs from person to person It may be 1 month to 1 year after delivery.
If you are breast feeding the periods tend to be irregular.
Though lactation is assumed to hamper fertility, conception in lactational amenorheoa is possible, so it's better to be careful,if you are not prepared for next issue.So start using contarseptive,once you start menstruating.
This time you can exclude pregnancy by blood HCG test.
Thanks.
