My son is now 9months old. He is breath feed only. I came back to work since November and have been pumping at work. When I am at home I nurse. In med march I had some spotting for a few days so I thought I was going to get my period but then nothing happen again until. 4/21 I started spoting and then had a period. On 5/4 I spotted for 3days. On 5/15 I had another period. On 5/28 I spotted for 2days and then had another period until 6/5. then on 6/10 I spotted for 1 1/2 day and then a period until 6/15. I am taking a b-control pill which is camila(the mini pill) is this normal or should I be worried about something.

More than likely it is the pill you are on. Having irregular cycles does sometimes happen, more so with the mini-pill, which is preferred when breastfeeding. The breastfeeding can also play a role in the irregular periods.
