4 months post c section. i stopped bleeding about a month ago but just started spotting again today. feeling slightly sore by my right ovary. i am breastfeeding so i'm pretty sure it's not my period?

Many: women will start a period within 6 months. This can occur even with breastfeeding. Your ovary pain might actually be uterine pain. Keep an eye on your symptoms. If they worsen, see your doc
