Worried b/c you might be pregnant or worried just about your body?  If there's a chance you might be pregnant, it probably wouldn't hurt to take a test.  If it's about your body, mine hasn't come back yet but I am breastfeeding with supplementing.

Hello! It can be normal, pregnancy and birth can always mess up your cycle.

But if your really concerned then you can always take a pregnancy test. Or contact your Dr.

DS is 23 weeks and I haven't gotten mine either and I'm only pumping 12 oz/day.

Maybe its because you're 57 weeks pregnant?

I kid, I kid.

Sounds normal to me, but if you're worried about it give your doc a call.

My LO just hit 6 months yesterday and I still haven't had a period.  I'm BFing and supplementing though.  Like others said, if you're worried call your doc, but it seems pretty normal to me.

I asked when i might see my period return at my 6 week check up and was told that it can take up to a whole year. So i'm not worrying about it, if thats one last thing i need to figure out every month for now i'm happy My LO is 16 weeks and i still haven't seen mine. I bought a couple tests just incase i get worried but so far so good

I didnt get mine for about 2 months after I stopped BF. It can take a while sometimes. You should have your well woman about 4 months after birth, so talk to your doc then.
