Hey all! I’m actively trying to get my body regulated back to a “normal” cycle.

So I’m 20 MPP, breastfeeding 1x a day still. I stopped taking the mini pill 1/19 with hopes of getting my body back in its own normal rhythm. Since having my son in June 2019, I have had a total of 2 “periods” the entirety of my time on the mini pill.

On 2/14 (happy Valentine’s Day to me lol) I got my period, I think? Normally I would have cramping (from what I remember before baby lol) but didn’t have any crazy cramping this time. I do always feel a lot of pressure/soreness down there during AF which I do have during this bleed as well.

Are there any sure fire ways to know if this is a true period or a withdraw bleed? I’m thinking period as it’s been nearly a month since stopping the mini pill? But I’m not sure! Just trying to educate myself so I can start trying to understand my body and cycle a bit better going forward.
