Call me crazy

Call me crazy but I'm wanting to start trying for the next (and last) child. I just wondered if anyone knew when you could expect to get your first period after giving birth. DD is 9 weeks old tomorrow and I haven't had one yet. I bled for about 4 weeks even though it was very light for the last 2 weeks. I'm not breast feeding at all and haven't been since about the first week of her birth. I breastfed ds for six months so didn't get it until I finished breastfeeding him.
I haven't had one yet and am just wondering how long it takes for your body to get back into line so I can start planning.

It's definitely hormonal. I have thought about it rationally though and just want to get it over and done with. I want three and I really want to do it so they're close together and figure I may as well just get on with it. It took me 12 months to fall pregnant with dd so am expecting it to take that long at least with the next one as well.

While I was still in labour with dd I was saying 'I could do this again!' but that didn't mean I wanted to right away! I ended up a c-section with her and was advised to wait 12 months to allow the wound to heal completely. I fell pregnant with ds 2.5 years later.

I think everyone is different with getting their periods back after a birth (there was another thread on this very thing just today) Took me 8 months to get them back.......it is very soon to have another.......but everyone has their 'plan' don't they? Best of luck meanmum!
