Hi,
In case of Opar delivery phase / lactating phase, it can be due to natural sway in hormonal pattern causing irregular dark menses along with infection in birth canal due to careless vaginal hygiene. Observe the pattern this month. In case of fever, foul spelling discharge or repeating same next time. Consult your gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
