Period after pregnancy???

Okay, so DS is now 7 weeks 5 days old. I am exclusively breastfeeding. Yesterday I started to spot bright red so I put a pantiliner on. Last night it became a bit of a flow and it seems like I am having a period. My lasted about 5.5 weeks and I am pretty sure that isn't what this is. Also, I had my essure procedure done last tuesday the 10th. Is it possible that the bleeding is actually a period or should I be worried about something having gone wrong with the essure procedure or is this normal after the essure? I was thinking about the scar tissue that forms around the inserts surely that would cause some bleeding. I'm just not sure.

Yes, baby is born, he is now 7 weeks 5days old. Do most people get a period after birth of baby while breastfeeding? It seems to be alot heavier than normal too.

my advice is to call your dr. and ask about this bleeding. they may do blood hcgs or  a u/s to see where you're at.

Also, I am taking the mini pill until the essure can be confirmed.
