Q: hi.i have been bleeding for almost a month.started off with light brown discharge then a heavy flow then again brown discharge an again heavy flow.i am not on any contraceptives an had a baby 8months ago. ?

: Eight months after delivery, the onset of light brown discharge alternating with heavy flow may indicate pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic). Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about possible pregnancy, and see your gyn physician for an exam and other testing.
