The gestation period is characterized by significant changes in hormonal levels in women. All these changes are primarily aimed at to continue the pregnancy. In the postpartum period continue to be of adaptive changes. Restoration of the menstrual cycle and after childbirth ovarian function indicates the full process of ovulation Ovulation - How to determine as accurately as possible?   and the possibility of pregnancy.

The nature of hormonal changes after childbirth

In the postpartum period in women intense neuroendocrine adjustment processes take place, and it can be called a new physiological state. The main value of this period is given an increased level of pituitary hormone prolactin. This determines the change in cyclic hormone secretion of sex hormones. Because of hormonal changes is a "lockup" of the processes that occur in the central brain structures, and affect the secretion of ovarian steroid hormones. Due to the high level of prolactin hormone secretion by the pituitary gland is disrupted, such as FSH and LH, blocks their action at the level of the ovary. The nature of these changes is determined by the absence of cyclical secretion of hormones, so the natural state of postpartum amenorrhea is when the menstrual function is temporarily interrupted.

High levels of prolactin in the blood of women can be fixed on the second day after birth. This also coincides with the beginning of active secretion of milk during breastfeeding. In the permanent absence of menstruation after delivery is influenced by the following factors:

• High prolactin levels
• good milk production

Hormonal changes the woman's body is a key factor in the development of amenorrhea.

Lactational amenorrhea and restore ovulation

If the child is only fully breastfed without the introduction of complementary foods Introduce solid foods - how not to be mistaken with a choice of products? Then a woman develops amenorrhea, which is a physiological condition called lactation. On average, menstrual function in women, breast-feeding is restored by the end of the fourth month after birth. First menstrual cycle is often neovulyatornym and is observed in 35% of women. Before ovulation in women who do not breastfeed, and during breastfeeding Breast-feeding: feed - and no nails!   50% of women ovulation occurs only after 6-12 months after delivery.

The cyclic menses in women renewed at different times. For someone it could come in one month, and someone three months or more. If the woman underwent a cesarean section, and the child is on artificial feeding, then her first menstrual period occurs within four weeks from the date of the transaction. During lactation amenorrhea Lactational amenorrhea - the natural recovery of the body after birth   the risk of pregnancy is minimal, but it still exists. In 4% of women even when breastfeeding pregnancy occurs.

Functional reorganization of the body of women during the postpartum period occurs at the active participation of the entire endocrine system. To menstrual function in the postpartum period recovered in full, it is necessary that in the blood was reduced levels of the hormone prolactin. In response to this start cyclic secretion of pituitary hormones, and the process of hormonal activity in the ovaries that will cause first anovulatory menstrual bleeding, which pass into ovulatory cycle.
