Period while EBF and on mini pill?

[Janene2005]

I think I'm having my period. The flow is SUPER heavy, definitely more then spotting, there's cramping and I'm peeing a lot. I'm 18wks PP after my second child, by c-section this time. (First was vaginal) I started the mini pill at 6wks and my DD has never had a drop of formula. I didn't EBF w/my DS for this long so I'm not sure if this is normal.

I got my period at 5 months. My LO was exclusively breastfeeding. It's not true for everyone that breastfeeding delays menstration.

Sadly EBF doesn't keep it at bay for all women. I had one at 8 weeks but then nothing until 26 weeks. Also I know one of my friends bled constantly on the minipill so that may not be helping.
