I’ve had two sections, one seven years ago and one six months ago. How long did it take for your period to return? My baby is six months and no cycle as yet. My C-section scar was infected as they didn’t seal it properly. It took me about four months to heal, and then I started getting yellow then transparent discharge whilst being on antibiotics.

Go to your gp as we say in england , Please
See a doctor for sure and ask this, but personal experience, antibiotics CAN DELAY a period. Not many people know that and I had a crazy pregnancy scare before I was told that.
If you are breastfeeding that can delay your period. I had a c section almost 7 months ago and my period come back at 4pp.
11 months post c section and breastfeeding
Are you breastfeeding? Sometimes that stops your period I heard both times I got my period about a week after for about a week
About a year after. I was exclusively breastfeeding though.
I had a cesarean in 1985. This will not be a thing in 2 months. Live your life without so much worry
Between a year or two for my period to return, I was breastfeeding.
6 weeks both times 100% exclusively breastfeeding 
I’m a fertile Mertle 
A little over 2 months not breastfeeding
Are you breast feeding? First section 7/8 weeks (was not breastfeeding) second one was 9 months (was breast feeding)
Did you get your tubes tied
Are you breastfeeding? Some peoples cycles don’t return till they stop. The section itself shouldn’t have anything to do with when a period comes back.

If you’re breastfeeding exclusively, many women don’t see theirs return until after they stop. I had one emergency c section with baby number 3 back in 2018 and I bled on and off for maybe a month as far as post partum bleeding went and then like clock work mine returned roughly 6-7 weeks following. Keep in mind there isnt really a set schedule for it. Its kind of just a everyones body heals differently in different time frames so your body just may not be ready. My other three kids it was different every time. Some I got mine right away and others it was delayed a bit more. If you’ve not been having unprotected sex following birth, I honestly wouldn’t worry about it
I pumped and got a “period” (or reaction to the birth control) a week after the Nexplanon was inserted. Stopped pumping this past May, Nexplanon is still in and no period to speak of.
7mo I think. That was with exclusively pumping for 4-5mo (my son was born at 32 weeks and in NICU for 6.5 weeks).
I didnt breast feed- or even produce tbh, period returned almost a year post csection.
I always get mine back right away. I’ve had 3 c-sections and breastfed all 3 times and got my period about 9 weeks pp.
With my first exactly 30 days later, with my second 9 months
Both were breastfed
It can depend on if your nursing
After my c-section, it took about 3 months.
After both mine (4 & 2 years ago) my cycle returned within 2-4 weeks. After birth bleeding was 6 weeks.
You need to see a doctor as it should have returned by now.

If breastfeeding cycle may not come back until you are done nursing. I was no lucky on that I got my period back after 3 months.
I had assisted delivery via forceps and epidural, 3.5 years later… still no period even after seeing a specialist
I got a csection 5 months ago and i still havent got mine yet but Im nursing 
Didn’t get mine til almost 10mths after as i was breastfeeding… i suppose everyones different
I had 1 cycle and no got no periods xxxx
Breastfeeding can affect your period and for me personally i stop bleeding from birth at 3 weeks after I had son and got my period when he was about 2 months old with my first was born 5 almost 6 years ago so I can’t remember
Are you breastfeeding? On birth control? These things matter. My daughter is almost 2, haven’t breastfed since July but still on my depo shot and have not had a period. A little spotting but that’s it

Depends on your body and it depends if your breastfeeding or not my daughter exclusively breastfed and she still got it every month
About 1 month after my csection. And I had my tubes tied.
I had 2 c sections. After the post partum bleeding my period stayed away for almost a year and my Dr told me it was cz of exclusive breastfeeding
I think it’s called lactation amenoroea
After my first pretty soon but my second she was 10 months before i got it back
My 3 were not c-section but I didn’t get mine back for over a year with 2 of them. I believe the only reason I started around 4 months postpartum with my 2nd child is because of my bc method.
Breastfeeding can affect it, I didn’t get mine back for a year
After my c section, I had infection also that required surgery and wound vac for 4 months. I got my cycle after 2 months.
If u breastfeed that screws up your cycle. My emergency C-section was intense and unfortunately milk never came in so i got mine id say around 4-6months somewhere there. Also my dr told me that at 18months is when ur scar should actually be healed as its still reconstructing all ur inner layers of muscle and tissue
I breastfed and pumped. I got mine 15 months pp
Took me almost 2 years afterwards but I breastfed for 18 months with my last. My first csection I got my period back 2 months later
There are tons of factors to consider. Breastfeeding? I breast fed for 10 months and now still at 16 months it hasn’t come back. Birth control? What method did you go with if you chose to? I had an IUD placed and that is probably why mine hasn’t returned even months after quitting breastfeeding.
I am breast feeding. 4th csection. And had my tubes tied 8 weeks after. Had my period about 6 weeks later
I’ve had two c-sections my period always comes at 8 weeks on the dot almost.
1 month with first… not sure on 2nd and exactly 2mths with third and I was breastfeeding and had tubal after third.
One c section I got an IUD 8 weeks after c section I am 9 months PP no period.
