16 weeks and formula feeding - where's my period!?

I've been Googling and it looks like most women get their period around 8 weeks from weaning off the breast.
Well I never did BF and this is my second child so I'm starting to wonder where my period is 🙁

Anyone else had this? Does it indicate a hormone imbalance?

I'll mention with DC1 it came back after 8 weeks x

I've always formula fed. DC2 is currently 17 weeks and still no period.

It didn't occur to me to be worried I'm just enjoying having one less thing to worry about.

I've no memory about when it returned after DC1 even though it was only two years ago!

@DelilahJane thank you, it's good to know it's not just me!

With my first 3 children my period came back at 6 weeks. With my 4th it was almost 5 months, I'd be prepared though, when it finally arrived it was very heavy!

@DelilahJane @jennyt82 did you find you were particularly moody before you came on?
I am soooo miserable and irritable ☹️
