Initially she didn't even know she could physically send her self through time, and assumed she was stuck. Likely the Phoenix Force was preventing her from doing it so she would not have to face death. Then she made a home and family here in 616 so it was understandable when after "fixing" her own timeline in Excalibur she came back.
