period after delivery

How was your period after delivery? I’m 6 weeks pp, and got my period last week at 5 weeks. I’m currentl breastfeeding( was hoping I didn’t get my period since I’m breastfeeding) and my period has been REALLY heavy.  Some days have been light and others heavy throughout this week. I was at least hoping on it stopping like my regular period on the 7th day but at the amount coming it’s not liking that way. Any one else experience this? And if so when did it stop? Thanks in advance!
