What Could Be Done For The Irregular Periods Having Brown Spotting And What Are The Latest Methods For Birth Control?

I have had irregular periods after the birth of my daughter and testing out new methods of birth control. I had been on birth control for 4 years prior to pregnancy so my period was very normal. Mostly now they're coming every month and they are relatively heavy but this month, at least for the last 5 days I have had brown spotting but no actual red blood. What could this mean?
