[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. I'm interested in the mechanisms of how weaning leads you to get your period back. IE, you stop producing certain honorees through breastfeeding, your body starts producing hormones to ovulate. I'm interested in that timeframe...weaning to fertility.

Someone whose period returns prior to weaning isn't going through what I'm curious about, because weaning obviously has nothing to do with their return to fertility. [/quote]

If you have weaned and your period is not back something is up unless you are only a few months post partum.

Take a pregnancy test. You can drop an egg before you have a period.

Most women get their period back when there are stretches of time between feeds (e.g. sleep training) and/or starting solids. The average is 6mo.

The weaning question is confusing because we don't know if you mean wean onto cow's milk (12 months) or wean onto formula (possibly days post partum in which case no period would be normal).
