Breastfeeding and having a period????

[Jeannie00]

O.K, this is a bit confusing for me, ive been nursing my baby for 6 months now (thats how old he is) and a few days ago i started bleeding. Well at first it was brown, kinda like the stuff after you deliver u know when ur bout done bleeding after the six weeks, then it went to red and then back to brown, was this a period???? or was it leftovers from birthing my son?? I havent bled since, only lasted two days, but still when i wipe occasionally there are brown streaks in it. What is it from????? Could it possibly be a period. What i dont understand is, if it is a period, why all of a sudden would i be having them after six months?????
(i had my tubes tied by the way after my son was born)

It could absolutely be your period. They have no rhyme or reason to when they start again, even when you are breastfeeding. And they don't necessarily start up in full force-mine took a couple of months to get regular and heavy again.

Yep. Most likely your period. I'm not sure what happens to your cycle after getting your tubes tied though
