Should I use contraception if I don’t have menstruation after giving birth?

　　Air Force Chief Hospital Yin Jiao, deputy chief nurse of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, explained: Menstrual recovery of lactating mothers varies from person to person. According to statistics, the vast majority of Postpartum Mothers who do not breastfeed will resume menstruation in about 3 months, and the time to resume ovulation is about 30-40 days after delivery. Breastfeeding can delay the resumption of menstruation.

　　But it should be noted that mothers in the puerperium can become pregnant even if they do not menstruate. Because whether you can get pregnant depends on whether you ovulate or not. The return of ovulation does not necessarily coincide with the return of menstruation. Especially in the few cycles just after menstruation resumes, there is often no ovulation menstrual cycle. There are also many people who have begun to ovulate before menstruation resumes. Especially for mothers who are not breastfeeding, ovulation often resumes earlier. Generally, new mothers have resumed ovulation 3 months or earlier after giving birth. Even if menstruation has not resumed, they may still become pregnant due to the resumption of ovulation. According to statistics, those who were conceived during lactation female , half were conceived before menstruation resumed. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers also need contraception.
