Menstruation Answer A6147

In some women it might take several months after giving birth to restore the regular hormonal fluctuations and to have the regular menstrual cycle. Missing the menstrual cycle is therefore not uncommon after giving birth.
You might want to visit your gynecologist to check for pregnancy and to have some laboratory tests that will include female sex hormones.
