no period 7 months postpartum never breastfed
Given your symptoms you are probably experiencing amenorrhea (period missing for more than 3 months). Amenorrhea can happen after delivery especially if you are breastfeeding. Even if you are not breastfeeding or not pregnant again, your hormonal axis hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries somehow remained blocked. Lack of progesterone indicates that there is no ovulation which usually leads to amenorrhea.
Retained placental pieces after delivery usually cause irregular bleeding (metrorrhagia) not amenorrhea.
You can consult your gynecologist about this.
