If you're nursing then your period may not come for some time.
I didn't get my first one until my son was 6mo. then didn't get another one until he was 8 mo. and now another at 9 mo. so I'm assuming they will be arriving regularly now??
I know were all different in this matter. All you can do is wait.
There is birth control pills you can take, I forget the name but they are the only ones you can take while nursing, they are the lowest form of birth control and do work. The down fall is unlike reg. pills you have to take them every single day at the same time basically there is a 4hr. window of how late you can take them if you miss a day that's it you have to start over or use back up protection.

I've had 3 children and I never have a period when I breastfeed. I BF my second child until he was 11 months old and didn't get my period back until he was 13 months old. I currently have a 6 month old baby girl and haven't had a period at all. I'm exclusively breastfeeding along with giving her solids.

I didn't get mine until 12 weeks - of course I had just stopped spotting from giving birth by then. I breast fed exclusively until 3 months...

I pumped exclusively for my baby for a few months and my period came back about 3 months after she was born.

I got mine about 2 months later. But I heard that you don't usually get it until you stop breastfeeding. Since I only breastfed for a month or so I got mine early.

I got my first period at 11 months when I began the weaning process.

I also breastfed and I didn't get my period back until my son was about 16 months old.

i breast fed too and i didn't get my period forever after. i think it's the fact that your breast feeding. the body considers you still pregnant to some extent. be thankful for the reprieve. LOL

I got mine exactly on my daughter's half birthday. She was still exclusively breastfeeding.
