How many days did your first menstrual period last after birth?

How many days did your first proper menstrual period last after birth? Not lochia. I know the first one can be a different kind of period to before pregnancy.

Lochia lasted 2 weeks

First period came 8 weeks postpartum and lasted roughly 10 days. Was a lot more painful and heavy than normal.

Went back to normal after that one though!

It was 12 weeks

13 weeks post partum and lasted for 8 days which is longer than usual for me. The first day was really heavy.
