doctor who - How many regenerations did River Song use?

In the "River Song's timeline" minisode / narrative story, Melody uses all her remaining regenerations to restore Doctor's life, after she first killed him with poison from a Judas tree. Melody now becomes River Song. Narrator says directly:




River: But I was shown who River Song would be and I saw just how much
I would love him.



And so I gave all my remaining lives to restore his.



Because I knew the Doctor was worth it.

But she also mentions moment earlier:




I escaped the space suit and lived on the streets homeless, alone and
dying until I regenerated.

That's one regeneration we can be sure of. My questions are:



  • Did River Song had full 12 cycles of regenerations?

  • How many regenerations were used to restore the Doctor to life? Why was more than 1 required?

  • 2nd question leads to this one: Why she couldn't regenerate after the sacrifice in the Library?
