FF Mums - when did your periods return (especially older Mums)

If you formula fed from birth or stopped breastfeeding quite early on how long did it take for your period to return? I stopped breastfeeding at 10w postpartum (and was already mostly on formula from birth) and 7 weeks on I still don’t have my period but have had lots of hormonal symptoms over the last 2 months ( like bad PMS but also symptoms that could be peri-menopause). Just wondering when I might expect a period? Particularly keen to hear the experience of other older Mums. I’m 41 and had regular periods before pregnancy with minimal PMS and really hoping to return to that state.

I was 28 though but like you always had bang on periods every 28 days and that has continued since they came back after two months after birth
