Periods returning when breastfeeding

I know the answer to this is probably not to ask dr google or mumsnet, but I feel like this isn't a problem and I just want to sense check that!

My periods haven't returned since having my DD who is now 17 months. I still breastfeed her but I am back to work full time so it's not that much- just after work and a little overnight really.

I did the same for my DS but my periods returned at 12 months, so the fact they still aren't back now make me wonder at what point I should be thinking about doing something about it...?

Google suggests that if breastfeeding your periods may not return for "several months." But I'm way past this so wondering if I should start to worry.

Any anecdotes out there of people who have taken upwards of 17 months before their periods returned?

Thank you!
