breastfeeding & period?

Amanda • mom to 3.5 yo Caroline Rose and 1 yo Nate 😊

My baby is 8.5mo and I'm still waiting on a real period. last month, I seemed to have breakthrough bleeding and this month I had slightly more but barely anything ... it's all seemed to be mostly all old blood! for those who are breastfeeding, what have your periods been like if they have returned?? I want to try to get pregnant again maybe in the next few months so I was hoping my period would return so I could track easier!
