Yes: Irregular bleeding is not an uncommon occurrence after pregnancy, especially if breastfeeding is involved. With the micronor (norethindrone) (progesterone only pill) your bleeding should decrease in amount and duration.

I am 2 and a half weeks postpartum and last week my lochia slowed down and I went a few days with no bleeding. Today I woke up bleeding and I have passed to small clots. Is this normal? I am pumping milk for my baby. I had a csection.
