Cramps while breastfeeding or something else?

Hi thanks for reading my post. I just have a question for breastfeeding mothers out there. My son is now going on 13 months and I still breastfeed about 4 times a day, but i have been feeling cramps like my period will start back up since it has not returned yet due to breastfeeding. However women I asked so far say it should not return until I have completely stopped breastfeeding. So if anyone here can let me know if your period has returned while breastfeeding or if it may be something else, I would appreciate it, thanx.

Your period can return at anytime during breast feeding. I was breast feeding my middle son when I ovulated, got pregnant, and thought that the implantation bleeding was my period. I got the bc shot that day then had a miscarriage while still breastfeeding.

I know lots of women who thought they were protected while breastfeeding and got pregnant right away.
