How long did it take for you to get a period after your regular bleeding after delivery?
If you are not nursing the rule of thumb is basically “your cycles could resume at any time.”
You can watch for signs of returning fertility like clear, stretchy cervical mucus….or your first period. Most women don’t ovulate before their first period, but it can happen, which means you could conceive before ever having a bleeding episode.

I wasn’t able to nurse my daughter due to her being born with a cleft lip/palate. My period returned at around 5 months pp. (I nursed my son til he was 18mo old, my period returned at around 6 months pp.)
Remember, everyone is different. Some women don’t see their periods again until a year after childbirth. As far as nursing and not getting a period, that varies as well. Some who nurse get their period back only after weaning, and others get it sooner than later (as I did).
