First menstrual cycle after baby

Hi My name is Lyndsay. Three days ago I started a menstrual cycle but I have not had one in over a year. I was pregnant and had a little girl in April and have been breastfeeding ever since. I am on a birth control pill and I missed one pill last week. I am wondering if my menstrual cycle is normal and trying to figure out if other women have gotten their menstrual cycles back around the same time? I am also worried because for the last two days it has not let up. It is extremely heavy with me having to change my tampon every hour to every two hours. I am worried because I have always had pretty light to moderate periods. Does anyone have information that could help? I would really appreciate it. Thank you

Hi Lyndsay!


How long have you been on the pill?
