"Question I stopped breastfeeding my 10-month-old baby six weeks ago.  How long would it normally be before a woman starts to ovulate normally after stopping breastfeeding? Answer Congratulations on feeding your baby for 10 months. It usually takes between one and three months for a woman to begin to ovulate and for her cycle to return to normal after stopping breastfeeding.  Ovulation can occur at any time and pregnancy can occur even before a woman has had a first period.  It is not, however, unusual for some women to take longer to resume a regular cycle.  There is great variation between women. Some women&amp;#039;s periods return as soon as they reduce the frequency of the breastfeeds. If your periods have not returned after six months it would be worth arranging to see your GP to have a blood test to check your hormone levels.
