Period?: It certainly is possible. Remember to use birth control as you are likely fertile again.

Sounds like a period: Even with breast feeding, it is not uncommon to start cycle again around 4-6 months post-partum. If no other symptoms and seems similar to periods you had before you became pregnant, i would assume you have restarted ovulation and thus your monthly cycle/periods.
