output: hello while a woman is breastfeeding post delivery menstrual cycles usually do not resume until 12 months and it will vary from person to person this is like a natural birth control devices by nature to prevent subsequent pregnancies at a shorter interval but however this is not 100 effective the excessive bleeding that you experienced is definitely not normal even if you have resumed your cycles one possibility is that you could have ovulate and got pregnant in the same cycle before you could get your actual periods and it got miscarried if you were not using any birth control methods so I would advise to check your urine pregnancy test once if there is any history of sexual intercourse the second possibility could be excessive bleeding due to other causes like fibroid or any other structural problems or hormonal disturbances which will have to be evaluated please get an ultrasound if possible to look for the same meanwhile to control your excessive bleeding I prescribe some medications which will help to control your flow please feel free to revert back with the urine pregnancy test results to rule out the possibility of pregnancy first urine pregnancy test ultrasound abdomen and pelvis tablet tranexa tranexamic acid 500 my thrice daily after food follow up with the urine pregnancy test results
