The endometrium, which is what the menstrual period is, can appear like
tissue. AS long as it was just a one time thing, small amount. I would
just track it and keep a calendar if it happens again. If you were/are
hemorrhaging, that is a different story.
You are correct...while breastfeeding you can have scanty periods, or
short periods or no periods. I would just continue to keep an eye on
it. It sounds relatively normal to me.
