Period?

So my daughter is 4 days away from being 5 months old and my period has still not returned, I exclusively pimpled for three months now she's on formula should I be concerned? When did your periods return to "normal"

You exclusively pimpled? Everyone's bodies are different. You could ask your doc/OB what is normal. I'm 5m PP and nothing yet but I'm still bfing.

I wouldn't be concerned unless you want to TTC soon-ish. I'd just enjoy my time not having to worry about it.

Quick google search says around 6-8 weeks is average for it to return after quitting BFing (or pumping) but again, that's just an average:

Kudos, to you - pimping ain't easy.

In all seriousness, it's different from person to person. I'd give your OB's office a call and ask what they think.

My period came back around 3 months PP, which, coincidentally, is around when we started giving DD a bottle of formula before bed
