I know this sounds like a completely stupid question coming from a 35 year old who's had periods her whole life!

I am just over 5 months PP. I'm exclusively breast feeding, and pumping for bottles when I'm not home, and I'm on the mini pill.

3 days ago, I saw a very light brown spotting colour tinge when I wiped after using the bathroom. I put a pad on, just incase, and continued to have the brown tinge when wiping. There was still nothing on my pad more than 12 hours later, perhaps one small drop (just to clarify too, I did change the pad, I didn't wear the same one for 12 hours 😁). The next day, I didn't wear a pad thinking whatever that was, it was just some spotting, but later that day, when I wiped, I had some very mucusy red blood, so I put on another pad. Same scenario, nothing on my pad, only slight bits of red when I wiped. Then today, there's nothing, maybe an odd brown bit of mucus when wiping.

Should I consider that my first period?! Or just a freak occurence?!

Again I know it sounds stupid, but I guess I'm not sure what to expect getting my first period back after having a baby!

TIA! ☺️
