Yes: It's normal to have some irregularity to your cycle after birth. Are you breastfeeding? If so, that can cause irregular bleeding as well. Make sure you have a birth control method as you can get pregnant right away after giving birth. After 6 weeks postpartum, you can use standard estrogen/progesterone birth control without affecting milk supply if that's a concern for you.

We've planned to have had babies and did sex (open) since 3 months. I couldn't get pregnant. Instead, my menstruation period is fast (30th, 20th, & 18th day) after we have started sex (open).
