9weeks postpartum. i bleed after exercising only. i already had my 6week and everything was good. i am exclusively breastfeeding so its not my period?

Normal: Breast feeding inhibits ovulation, so you are correct the bleeding is not your period. Because you are not yet ovulating, you are not producing the estrogen necessary to heal the uterus after your delivery - that allows the spotting and bleeding to linger, sometimes for up to several months. That is normal.
