Irregular : Irregular periods, especially within a year after giving birth is very common. The fact that you were breastfeeding even makes it more likely. Your hormones have not stabilized yet and will take some time to do so. In addition things such as stress/anxiety, weight fluctuations, thyroid abnormalities also contribute to irregular cycles. Also, your symptoms are not characteristic of an ovarian cyst.
My advice is to see your ob/gyn or family doctor for an evaluation. You may want to consider starting a birth control pill to help normalize your hormones and regulate your cycle.
Lastly, the fact that you still leak at times is normal and could occur for some time.
Please see your doctor. Take care.
