I had my first period 8.5 months (may 3rd) post delivery. Should have got my periods on June 3rd and have not got until now. I am still breatfeeding. I took a pregnancy test and seems like I am not pregnant. Anyone else experienced same ?

Apparently it's normal when you're still breastfeeding. NHS says: "If you fully breastfeed (including at night) without any bottle feeding, your periods may not start again until you start to reduce breastfeeding."
