How long was your first menstrual period after birth?

How many days/weeks was your first actual menstrual period after birth? Not the postpartum lochia bleeding. I know the first period is often a strange one because everything is tying to adjust.

6 weeks after birth but it took another few months to get back into the schedule.

1st time: 18 months
2nd time: 9 months
3rd time: 22 months

All linked to breastfeeding and hormones- my body tends to be quite sensitive to even minor hormonal changes.
