I havn't had one!! :hissy:
I had a c-section too but not seen hide nor hair of one.
Im BF and bottle top ups.
My bleeding lasted 6 weeks so whether i had a period at the end of that and didnt notice im not sure but the blood was that light brownish type so i dont think so sorry TMI.

my doc said today that if i'm bfing 6 times a day or more I "should" be covered contraceptive wise....maybe my periods should keep at bay while we're bfing lots?
