Yes it is normal to get your periods while breastfeeding
But bleeding or spotting before 21 days is abnormal
You don't need to refrain from intercourse now
Just make sure you use a contraceptive

On and off spotting is normal.If you are exclusively breastfeeding it is unlikely you get periods.But if you have any doubt you can do a UPT test.
Did you have normal vaginal delivery or LSCS(regarding the intercourse)?
Next Steps
Do a UPT and try to exclusively feed the baby
