Brief Answer:
Not normal, needs evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
After a miscarriage, irregular periods may follow for a few months.
But right now, almost 7 months after that, it should not be happening.
It is not normal.
Please have a complete evaluation for the reason for such spotting.
She should have an internal evaluation by a Specialist OB - GYN, a Pap smear, pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal tests ( FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone, Lipid profile ).
Did she have regular cycles before the miscarriage ?
At how many weeks of pregnancy did the miscarriage occur ?
Was it treated medically or surgically ?
What is her height and weight ?
Please write back with more details.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Needs the rest of the tests and weight loss.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the updates.
She needs a Pap smear, pelvic ultrasound scan and remaining tests that I have listed.
She also needs to lose atleast 10 - 15 kg of weight.
Being overweight can lead to spotting and irregular periods and a condition called PCOD - polycystic ovarian disease.
Please ask her to start regular exercise atleast 30 minutes daily for 5 days a week and to curtail her diet to 1200 calories per day.
She will see a difference in a few months time in her weight.
