Question 11m pp—spotting/cycle/weaning question

I am 11m pp w my second. breastfeeding has gone much better this time than with my first which is awesome, but I’d really like a third and up until recently I had no signs of my period returning (still 4 feeds per day at this point)

a few weeks ago i had a drop in milk and thought I might be ovulating, took an LH test (pretty dark but ultimately negative). yesterday which was 3 weeks later I started bleeding and thought ok I must have been surging but not peaking when I tested my LH, and this is my period. But it was on the lighter side (little bit of red blood but mostly brown/pink discharge) and only lasted a day.

can a first pp period look like this if you’re still bf does anyone know? Or could this just be my body spotting as it tries to regulate? And then of course my crazy side wants it to be implantation bleeding although I’m sure it’s not

My first guess is that it could technically be a cycle but you still have progesterone levels that are so low from breastfeeding that your lining isn’t thick enough to support a pregnancy - hence the very light flow.
