Periods at 4 months postpartum

I had a C-section 4 months ago and am exclusively breastfeeding. My period returned at 2 months postpartum with a 35-day gap between the first two cycles. However, it has now been 40 days since my last period and I haven't started bleeding yet. My baby recently started sleeping a 4 to 5-hour stretch at night. I am not experiencing any pain, cramps, or unusual discharge. Is it normal to get two periods postpartum and then have them skip or become irregular while exclusively breastfeeding? What should be my next steps?

22 weeks pregnancy

I am 21 weeks pregnant and would like to know if you can help me with my situation. I have a large anterior subserosal fibroid (about 15cm) and have had severe ongoing abdominal pain since a recent hospital admission for UTI. I was told the pain may be due to fibroid degeneration, but my CRP and neutrophils remain raised, so I am concerned about ongoing infection/inflammation. My Hb, RBC and haematocrit have also been progressively falling. I cannot see all my results, including urine culture and ferritin/iron studies. I have also had two attempts at my anomaly scan, but the baby’s face could not be visualised because of position. I would like an overall review of my situation, advice on what investigations/treatment I should discuss with my NHS maternity team, and whether further assessment of the fibroid, anaemia, infection or incomplete scan is needed. Could you please let me know if this is something you can advise on?
