Periods after birth (and breastfeeding?)

Hi all

My son is now approx 12 months and I have recently given up breastfeeding. My periods have now returned but I will have a period for a week, then a week without, then a period for a week, a week without...and so on and so forth.

Prior to baby I was on the same mini pill I'm on now and never had a period. It's really getting me down that they're coming this regularly and for this length. I've done some internet research and do get that irregular periods can happen after a baby or they change but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone whose been through similar tell me they eventually settled down?

This is getting me down and in some ways affecting my relationship (husband is understanding but I miss the intamacy that sex gives me).

I'm just really fed up.

Try a different pill? I had this pre baby after coming off the implant. Drove me bonkers but a cycle on a different contraceptive sorted it out
