how long does it take hormones to return to normal after giving birth
It depends whether or not you are nursing and how long. 1  Nursing: The feedback loop between the pituitary (which controls most hormones) and nipple stimulation encourages lactation (milk production) and suppresses ovulation. Up to 8 months or so, this will prevent return to ânormalâ hormone function. 2  Not Nursing: 6â8 weeks.
