Postpardum Question

Ok, my son is four weeks old today (I had him vaginally). I quit bleeding about a week ago and was just having clearish white discharge, but this morning when I went to pee, I noticed I had blood in my panties. I was a good bit, but not as much as was in the begining right after I had him. And it is really dark, it actually almost looks black. Is it bad to quit bleeding and then start again? I know it can't be my period, can it? I started taking birth control on Sunday, so I was wondering if mabey that had anything to do with it. Also, we haven't tried having sex yet, but we have messed around, and I have had orgasms (sorry if tmi). I know they tell you it takes your body six weeks to heal, so could having an orgasm be bad? Could that be why I started bleeding again? This is kinda worrying me.
