Unusual periods after stopping breastfeeding

Hi

Not sure where to post so hopefully this topic is ok.

I've got a 15 month old baby girl. I completely stopped breastfeeding her (was on two feeds a day) on 13 December. Had been cutting down for a week or two before then.

I started my period on 12 December (22day cycle when I'm usually 26/27/28 days), which I put down to cutting right down on the feeds up to then.

Then Christmas Day (day 14!) I start spotting. I'm still lightly bleeding now, though slightly heavier with cramps.

Think this is the first time I've ever had these weird cycles. Bit of background; I'm 37 and I've got two children. Dc1 my af returned at 10 weeks even though I was ebf. Dc2 my af returned after 27 days!! Ebf again.

I'm not pregnant and cannot be pregnant.

Have these weird cycles happened to anyone else?

Thanks
