Hi, baby is 10.5 months. I haven't had a period since she was born and I am on the mini pill. Yesterday i started bleeding first thing but by the end of day it had pretty much stopped.

Is this normal?

Oh and meant to say I am still breastfeeding although only a small amount - 1 night feed and first thing in the morning

First periods can be all over the place as your body is reverting to "normal"
I would do a pregnancy test just to put my mind at ease, then just see what happens.

I'm currently waiting for my 2nd period after having DD. Based on my previous periods I should have started yesterday, but so far nothing. I used to be every 29 days or so, but now it looks like it'll be every 30-35 days. I can feel all the symptoms, but no period. Ugh. I'd rather just go through perimenopause and be done with it as we don't plan on more children. Would stop my dad pushing his ideas onto me as well...

Pregnancy test was negative thankfully Smile but yeah same, have symptoms of period e.g. aches and pains. Had similar last month and was so sure period was starting I went and bought tampons but nothing. Then this month just a tiny bit of blood.
