Could I ask where you found this information on post-partum  amenorrhea?  It 
is very interesting.  I do note, however, that  amenorrhea following pregnancy 
does not necessarily mean the post-partum woman  is not ovulating.  The large 
numbers of "Irish twins" tell that tale.   While it certainly differs from 
woman to woman, ovulation following birth  can start as early as 27 or 28 days 
following delivery for some women, without a  return of menorrhea.
