Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Your period may be variable after post delivery due to hormonal imbalance as you are feeding your baby.
You can get your hb,calcium and vitamin d3 levels.
You should continue with iron and calcium tablets.
Take healthy and nutritious diet.
Do some walk and yoga.
Do not take much stress.
Have you done your thyroid profile,if not get it done.
