Its mostly likely because you just gave birth not too long ago and you were on hormonal birth control and then stopped taking it. Birth control can really mess up your cycle. If you are wondering about being pregnant it would be highly doubtful that you are.

hi, the doctor tested me for diabetes and the height of my sugar levels had *** back 7.3 thats just 3 over. as i was on the contraception patch after my 1st child, but now i'm diabete thats why i've had to change my contraception. now i'm going to be starting the mini pill but can't start that till i've stop bleeding. i have been having unprotected sex with my husband, when i was on the patch?? had my normal period then 5 days after started to spot then it started ilke more of a period and hasn't stop yet and it been 10 days now, its like spotting now.

i really am confused...???

I'm unclear what your question is. Are you wanting to know why you're spotting, and/or having such long bleeding? If so, it could be because you just gave birth recently and your body is still adjusting, or it could be from you getting off of birth control. It's also possible to be a combination of the two. It can take up to a year for your body to regulate itself after the birth of a child. Are you on any new type of birth control?

I don't understand about the test he did and the numbers, so I can't say anything about that.
