I wonder if we have the full story on this one. Okay so the women mentioned have resumed menses. I wonder if they have actually started ovulating? Possibly this is the difference. An interesting adjunct to this is the Billings method of cervical mucous assessment to detect fertility. Does the return of menses imply full fertility in the breastfeeding women?
