If you’re breast feeding you may not get a period. You also may get a period. I would contact my doctor. But I would also take a pregnancy test just to make sure you aren’t pregnant.

I’m in the same boat. Baby was 5 months on the 20th. Are you breastfeeding? Apparently if you’re under 4- 6 hrs between feeds and under 6 months of age for the baby it’s fairly common to not ovulate.

My baby turned 5 months on the 21st. I haven't gotten mine yet. My two friends who recently had babies and also breast fed both got theirs around 6 months so I haven't been too worried about it. 💕

I just got mine like last week but i heared even if u breast feed but they are constantly sleeping through the night u can get it back early my baby has been sleeping throuhh the night since 3 months also eveeybody is differnt nothing to be concerned about

My baby will be 6 months August 19 and I haven't seen my period yet.. Am not worried and still breastfeeding. Also baby still feeds like 2 times before morning

I didn't get mine back with my first until 10mo pp, and that was with seeing Naturopath and taking supplements so I'd get it back to start trying for baby#2 (who arrived a month early at the end of January).

If you’re breastfeeding, you likely won’t get it back but it’s unpredictable. With my daughter, mine came back around month 4 but my son is almost 6 months now and no period. And you CAN ovulate even though you don’t have a period bleed.

Oh, you are lucky, I got mine back a month after she was born, but I heard you're not supposed to while breastfeeding
