Lochia or return of period?

Hi ladies

My DD is 6 weeks old today, and is exclusively breastfed. My lochia was seriously dwindling and had a couple of days with nothing, but have now started bleeding again - bright red and much heavier than what the lochia had been for weeks (but not heavy enough to suspect a PPH or anything). My activity levels today have been, if anything, lower than usual since we couldn't get out and do our usual hour walk since my daughter had her 6 week vaccinations this morning https://snaptube.cam/ https://9apps.cam/.

Has anyone experienced anything similar and it been the return of their period? I have PCOS and prior to DD's birth was annovulatory without the help of fertility drugs so would be very pleasantly surprised if my body was actually doing something on its own, but also pretty shocked if it was this soon after her birth!
