I did not get my first period until almost 4 months postpartum (I took quite a few tests as well). I went back to the doctor twice to check on everything and both times all of my labs came back clear. I guess it just took me that long to start ovulating again or something. Anyways... when AF did come back, oh boy did it come back full force. I had to use those postpartum pads along with bed pads because it was like a fountain. The next few AFs were pretty normal and uneventful. I don't think HELLP has anything to do with it, but you could always ask your doctor.
Here's to hoping AF shows up soon!
