On & off bleeding 12w PP and on the pill

I'm 12 weeks postpartum (c section). A few weeks back I started taking Levonorgestrel contraceptive pills. I had some light bleeding just before I started taking the pill and a few days after. It then stopped for a while and came back extremely heavy, which I think was my first period postpartum. It's been about 2 weeks and I have very light bleeding again. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it sound normal?

You get get breakthrough bleeding when on hormone contraceptives, or like me, I bled for 6 months straight before they'd take the implant out, and I had the same issue on the pill. So, yes, normal but if you keep bleeding you might want to try something different

I was on the pill for 15 years with no issues before my pregnancy so I'm hoping it all comes right with time.
