Will you have a period when expressing milk?

No, you typically do not have a menstrual period while breastfeeding, especially in the early months postpartum. This is due to elevated levels of the hormone prolactin, which suppresses ovulation. However, as breastfeeding becomes less frequent or if you stop altogether, your menstrual cycle may return. Each woman's experience can vary, so it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized information.
