It seems your body hasn't quite adjusted to stopping breasfeeding yet.
As you know, BF can result in no or irregular periods. Since you have
recently weaned, your ovaries are trying to get back on track. A return
to regular cycles after BF can take several months, so at this time, be
patient. If you are still having irregular bleeding after a couple of
months, call your gyn.
