Yes: Your cycle can be manipulated by using hormones. If there is an important reason for doing so, see your doctor.

Depends: If you are nursing, then it is highly variable when you will get your period. If you are not nursing, then you will probably get your period about 6 weeks after the baby is born.

Menstrual pain: Severe pain should be evaluated by a gynecologist. Mild to moderate cramping can be relieved with NSAID meds like Ibuprofen or naproxen. Check out no-drug methods too like massage, exercise, and a new menstrual belt called ziivaa.

Not your periods: Both menses sound normal being moody is likely related to other circumstances (husband, kids, job, money ?).

When spotting very little, is it considered a menstral cycle?

Hypomenorrhea: Very light menstrual flow can be normal. Having regular cycles that aren't too heavy or painful is more important than concern about enough flow. A sudden change in menstrual flow can signal a problem, like a hormonal change or pregnancy.
