Going back to Natural Cycles app.. is my first period withdrawal bleeding or a period?

I used natural cycles to prevent pregnancy for about a year and then to get pregnant. And I then went in the minipill for a year and a half after I had my daughter. I am going off the pill now, hoping to prevent pregnancy for a couple months, and then ideally get pregnant again this fall. I was on the minipill which is just a progesterone pill for 28 days per pack - no sugar pills. I got my period last week and it only ended 2 days ago. I don't anticipate any "withdrawal bleeding" anytime soon. I expect my period to come in probably like 3ish weeks. When it comes, is that still technically withdrawal bleeding? Or should I log it as a period? I didn't get the same questionnaire I did when I first signed up for natural cycles a few years ago.
