What Is The Treatment To Get Back Periods After Pregnancy ?

My son is 8 months old, and I am still exclusively breastfeeding. I still haven't gotten my period, and lately I have had brown discharge. Some cramping, but not a lot. What could be the cause of this, is this my period returning? I used to have an irregular cycle prior to pregnancy.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern you need not worry about the menses the lactating mother usually get the menses very late, the brown discharge that you have seen could be the retained blood and nothing to worry about this even for the menses no need to take any medicine this would come around on its own, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
