Question

Miscarragw or first PP period- please help a scared mama

Hi,
Here's the situation.
I have a 15mo LB who I was breastfeeding so I went on micronor mini pill when he was around 3/4 months.
I haven't had a period since he was conceive (two years ago).
The past couple of weeks I've had really bad lower back ache much like I did with my first pregnancy. I thought nothing of it really until on sunday i started bleeding totally unexpectedly light pink blood that was quite a light flow with stomach
Over the last couple of days this has changed to bright red with clots.

I have severe stomach and back cramps that are now spreading to my legs im struggling to even walk properly and pain killers aren't touching it.
I'm not the type to just take pain relief I haven't had any since LO was about 2 weeks old. So it concerns me that the pain isn't relieved by them.

Two questions 1) is this just my first period?- if so why now?
2) is it possible i was pregnant and am losing bubs?
Thanks in advance
Really hope someone can help!!

I'm sorry to hear the pain and confusion that this must be causing you. Obviously, are all different and so experience things in our own way. Also, each pregnancy by the same woman is apparently meant to also be very different to each other. It may be your period starting. Given you were on the pill I don't think pregnancy is likely.
My first PP af started 4 months after by delivery even though I was breastfeeding exclusively. No idea why it started it when it did but since then I have been back to the usual monthly cycle.
