Is this a period? Breastfeeding at 8 months.

Hi there, I've just started to have what seems to be a period, but I feel rather confused as I'm still breastfeeding regularly and dd is now 8months, I thought periods usually began a tad later. I have been doing some part-time work, only 1 or 2 days a week and expressing, going without feeding dd for about 6 hours max on those days, but normally feeding roughly every 3 or 4 hours. Is that enough to get the ovulation going again? BF experts, I would be very grateful for any of your thoughts. Or am I haemorraging!!

I had one at 8 months, then a weird one at 9 months and stopped breastfeeding at 9 1/2 months, so, seems about right xXx
