Q. hello. my baby 17months old. recently i started my menstrual cycle post delivery and it has been very irregular. this month's cycle started 10 days early and with spotting, after a week the flow became light - heavy for about a week and then again spotting / light bleeding after that. today its been 21 days and still spotting / light bleeding is going on. please any experts could advice on why this is happening. my cycles were irregular before pregnancy due to pcos but they weren't much of a worry. but now im worried. the dr says everything looks well internally so i don't understand the cause of this prolonged spotting / light flow. please any advice will be helpful.
