How long does it take hormones to settle down postpartum?

[SK2970]

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody can share their experience of how long it took hormones to settle down after giving birth?
Currently 5 months postpartum (not breastfeeding) and my periods are completely out of line, pretty much have a period every two weeks which last nearly a week 😞 I am on the mini pill so could be down to that so I am debating coming off for a while.
Any experience shared would be greatly appreciated 😊

I'm only 7 weeks postpartum with my first so don't have much experience! But my health visitor said it takes 6 months for your hormones to calm down once you've had your baby!

@SK2970 have your periods settled down yet? I’ve had constant bleeding like you describe, a period every couple of weeks and spotting inbetween shortly after I started taking the mini pill. The doctor put me on the combined pill but it’s no better. I’m 3.5 months pp after a forceps twin birth. There’s no pain or smell or clots but I’m fed up of constantly having to wear a pad. I’ve just come off the pill to see if the bleeding settles down. I just wondered if it had resolved for you?
