A woman will normally not menstruate while exclusively breastfeeding. This also depends on the frequency of feedings and length of time between feedings. Once a baby begins solid foods and replaces breastfeeding sessions with solid foods a cycle is more likely to begin. Please remember that a woman ovulates before before menstruating so in order to prevent a pregnancy the necessary precautions should be taken.

Do you still get a menstrual cycle when breastfeeding?
It depends if a woman has begun ovulating yet or not. Breastfeeding most likely suppresses ovulation as long as a woman is breastfeeding pretty consistently around the clock, although some women's menstrual cycle may return even while breastfeeding anyway. Stress and separation from the child for prolonged periods of time (or even just a few hours in the day), especially at night, tend to cause ovulation. Breastfeeding's effect on the body by suppressing ovulation is nature's way of telling the mother that her body is occupied raising a child (or children) and is not physically ready to raise more. If the woman does not become pregnant upon ovulation while breastfeeding then a menstrual cycle will return. A woman can still breastfeed while menstruating although it might change the taste of the milk for the child.
Postpartum when does your menstrual cycle begin again?
If you are breastfeeding your period could possibly not start until after you stop breastfeeding. If you are not breastfeeding some people start right away while others take several months. This is all normal and nothing to worry about, but if you are worrying you should see a doctor. Keep in mind that you can get pregnant after having a baby even if you have not started your period yet.

Bare in mind that the Depo stops your menstrual cycle for several months - you may experience irregular bleeding while on the Depo.

After taking Plan B it is normal to have spotting after one's menstrual cycle for days at a time, if you just started taking the pill.

It could be that the uterus did not expel all of the blood during your period and so spotting occurs mid-cycle.
