If I understand correctly, you are using some sort of birth control, possibly pills and this is your first period in a year following the 6 weeks after delivery.

The first one to two periods can be very unusual and they can be heavy, crampy, long and unexpectedly bizarre. the only thing that doesn't make sense is that you haven't had a period in a year. Now that you have, see if it stays fairly regular. Give this cycle another week or so before something needs to be done, unless you get weak or faint. That may be related to a low blood count.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
