How long for period to return after baby? Now 12 weeks postpartum

Just curious really, I have all the classic signs (thrush which I always used to get before period). Really dull cramps in my tummy and legs. Moody as heck. Bloated.
But still no period. Had these symtoms off and on for 2 weeks now and just want a period. I'm not breastfeeding.
With my first I breastfed for 8 months and when I stopped my period came back after 4 weeks.
Is 12 weeks normal to still have no period ?
Thanks

Mine returned after 16 weeks, I stopped bf around 8-10 weeks.

2 years for me as I was bf. It can vary and I believe may be linked to bmi
