    Are you breastfeeding? It is normal for a woman who is breastfeeding not to have any bleeding until she stops or significantly reduces the breastfeeding. This is because the hormones involved in breastfeeding suppress the normal menstrual cycle and tend to prevent ovulation (egg release). If a woman does not breastfeed, her periods may return as early as 28 days after delivery. However even in women who do not breastfeed it is not unusual for there to be a delay of 6 months or more before periods return.

    So there is no need to be concerned that your periods have not returned. It is important, however, that you use contraception if you want to avoid another pregnancy at the present time, as there is no way to predict when you will start to ovulate again.

    Yes, it is normal. Some women do not even get periods up to a year or even past a year. It also depends on if your breast feeding or not. Whatever the reason if you are still concerned get the advice of a family doctor.
