Trying for #2

So here's the 411 on my situation:

I gave birth to my first last year in September.

Exclusively breastfed and still am currently breastfeeding my son (although it's less sine he now eats solids and all that.)

Even though I'm nursing less, and his first birthday came and passed in September, still no period.

Just a couple weeks ago around Oct 7/8 I developed mastitis and was put on antibiotics. On Oct 14 I got a really light period for about 3 ish days even though it was SUPER light. (I'm not a heavy bleeder either just regular when all is normal).

I guess my question is did the antibiotics make me start having a cycle again?

We're trying for baby 2 but since I'm still nursing and have had no period wxcoet until just very recently I don't know if my body is back in business for bent fertile again or not!

Thanks in advance.

5 months ago my daw 13.5 months old when we stopped breastfeeding because I didn't get periods except for October 26th of last year it only lasted for a few days but never got it again.  I fed her solids and weaned her down to 2x then 3 weeks of that it was down to 1 a day and still nothing. I was not fertile at all so I had to completely stop. There are ways to see if you are fertile like checking your cervix for cervical mucus or even using opk thar you can order off of Amazon or ebay because it's cheaper or going to a drugstore. If you are TTC now, you might have to wean. ...
