no period 7 months postpartum never
breastfed
Given your symptoms you are probably
experiencing amenorrhea (period missing
for more than 3 months). Amenorrhea can
happen after delivery especially if you
are breastfeeding. Even if you are not
breastfeeding or not pregnant again, your
hormonal axis
hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries somehow
remained blocked. Lack of progesterone
indicates that there is no ovulation which
usually leads to amenorrhea.
Retained placental pieces after delivery
usually cause irregular bleeding
(metrorrhagia) not amenorrhea.
You can consult your gynecologist about
this.
