My friend didn't get her first period after baby until about 9 or 10 months. Admittedly she was breast feeding, so I don't know if that affects things.

Could it be your birth control? Some birth control mess your periods around and giving birth is such an upheavel in terms of your reproductive system, your birth control might be confusing it even more. The contraceptive injection and mirena coil are all known for stopping periods, but in the same light some oral contraceptives can delay this too...Its worth looking into it just incase
