Hello,
Newbie here.
I had my second child 9 weeks ago and have recently started taking progesterone again 4 days ago (I am exclusively breastfeeding and was waiting until 6 my supply was established). My cycle hasn’t returned yet, it didn’t with my first for 4 months.
Since starting progesterone, I have started spotting. Is this normal? Do I need more or less? I am having about 10mg per day.
Should I take it for 2 weeks then have 2 weeks off until my cycle returns?
Then do days 14-28 of my cycle?

I personally wouldn't take progesterone while nursing (especially during the first year) as it inhibits oxytocin which is important right now. What is the reason you're taking it? Maybe there's something else that can help.
