I need your thoughts/experiences!!

To start I had a baby January 8th 2020 and the first period I had since then was, May 1st 2020. I started spotting June 1st and to me it’s good spotting but not enough to call a period.

I know I’m not pregnant 100%, by the way!!

Anyways, I leave for Colorado on the 14th this month and I was really hoping for this period to kick in normal like it’s supposed to but it’s taking FOREVER to finally hit. I REALLLLY don’t want to be on my period while I’m on vacation with my 4 year old and my guy. So I came to the conclusion I’ll start birth control today (already took my first pill) and might not even have a period for this month and avoid the dreadful idea of sharing my vacation with my period 🙄😩😓

So my question is; has anyone spotted and then started the pill and the period stopped? Did it help the period kick in?

What happened for you? Do you think it’ll help me?
