My daughter breastfed until she was 2.5.....my period did not start again until she was 3!!!
3 years, 9 months with no period???? Doctor was not worried, I was not worried, and spent the entire time loving it!! My ob/gyn told me she would not be concerned until a year had passed after I had completely stopped breastfeeding. Our bodies know best.
Enjoy!!

Joyce - If you haven't yet been to your OBGYN, I'd suggest a visit. 3 years without menstruataion and 2 yrs of that was without breastfeeding seems a bit out of the norm. Best to go get checked out.

Yep, perfectly normal, especially if your still nursing. Mine didn't come back until I'd weaned with both my children. Do be aware that you can get pregnant and not know it. My mom didn't know she was pregnant with me until she was about three months along and she was still nursing my older brother.
