A. It is common to experience irregularities in the return of your periods after childbirth, even while breastfeeding. Typically, breastfeeding can delay the return of periods due to the hormone prolactin, which suppresses ovulation. However, this effect varies from person to person and depends on factors like: 1. Frequency of breastfeeding: If you are not exclusively breastfeeding or have long gaps between feedings (e.g., during the night), prolactin levels may decrease, allowing your cycle to return sooner. 2. Hormonal changes after tubectomy: Tubectomy does not directly affect your periods, but hormonal shifts postpartum may influence their return. 3. Body's natural rhythm: Some women naturally resume periods earlier, even while breastfeeding. Getting your period early while breastfeeding is normal and doesn’t affect your ability to continue breastfeeding. If you experience heavy bleeding or other unusual symptoms, consult your doctor.
