Is this my period?

[VodkaCranberry2]

How will I be able to tell when I’ve got my period back? I’m 6 weeks postpartum after a csection and I had heavy bleeding for about 4 weeks. Then it got lighter and stopped about a week ago and I’ve had nothing. But the past two days I’ve had light bleeding again but no cramps or any period signs. Any ideas why I’m bleeding again or whether it’s a period or just continuous from before? Also, I’ve been having sex since the week after my section (I know, not supposed to because the body needs to heal and you risk infection, before anyone says) and we have been using condoms and a couple of times the pull out method (again, stupid, I know).

Em are you breastfeeding? Yes it’s relevant to the answer I’d give.

No I’m not @LouiseTrees

It is possible and most likely it’s your first period then but also possible it could be implantation bleeding from another pregnancy. It won’t be for another cycle at least that you get a proper bleed. My first two periods were spotting and then it was normal amount. The only way I could tell it was a period in the initial months and not just continuation bleeding was the discharge that normally comes before a period.
