How long after you stop breast feeding should you get your period?

I stopped breast feeding at 4 weeks after my son was born, but now at 13 weeks, I still have not gotten my period. Should I be concerned?

  1. It's different for everyone. I didn't stop breastfeeding my son till he was a year old, but I started my period again at 10 months when the feedings became less frequent more consistently. It all depends on your hormones the levels have to return to what can be called semi normal after giving birth, and at 13 weeks you're still not there. usually around 6 months is when things balance out a bid more steadily. However, it's different for each person. I wouldn't be concerned.
