Could it be my P

I an almost 4 weeks post pardum, i started taking my birth control a week ago ( pills). I had stopped bleeding early on, only had discharge for a while. Well problem is today i just wiped bright red blood. Last night i fell like smurf lol, cramping or what i had thought was a stomach ache. Could this be my period? Or maybe something serious, i had a csection btw. I just thought periods took longer lol especially while breast feeding. Any thoughts? Tia!

Did you consult with your doctor starting the pill that soon?

Yes, he said to go ahead. Was he wrong?

I've always heard that you shouldn't start hormonal birth control until after your 6 weeks postpartum appointment because you should actually be having sex until you are checked out.

I definitely would. It can take 2-3 cycles before you actually get a real period.
