"Ecological Breastfeeding" will often help ovulation from occuring for a year or more, but the more estrogen a womyn has, the earlier she gets her period. Some very thin womyn, and older moms can go 2 or 3 years, if they are breastfeeding extensively, especially at night. But, by a year or so, most babies are on solids and mom makes enough estrogen to start menstruating and ovulating again. Younger womyn, and womyn with some, uh, meat on them, often will only have 4 or 5 months period free, even if they are breastfeeding round the clock, due to higher estrogen levels. It is not an exact science.
Once a mama has gotten a period, the first few months are usually periods in which the luteal phase is too short to maintain pregnancy, or even ovulate, but, I always tell mamas to "Consider themselves fertile" when they get a period. Some womyn actually concieve BEFORE they get the first after baby period, even when they are breastfeeding.
Jedi, about 50% of baby girls will have what is called "pseudomenstruation" within a few days of birth. They get a "period" due to the sudden freedom of pregnancy hormones, just like thier mama does. Three months of "pseudomenstruation" is rare, but it does happen. KC is an Estrogen Machine!

lol. hey, i wanted to ask you, i've also frequently been shown to have an excess of testosterone in my system. how are those two able to coexist?

Hey, I could be wrong about the estro. But, testosterone wouldn't cause you to menstruate so soon, and actually if you are really HIGH T womyn, getting pregnant is difficult AND you usually only have boys when you do get pregnant. (Not kidding.) Hormone levels can change rapidly. Were you tested for the High T levels, because just things like body hair and strong personality are not neccesarily High Test issues. (Otherwise I'd be High T, and I'm not. )
