I am 4.7 months postpartum. Not breastfeeding. I had a period on the 5th Dec which was for my usual length- 7-8 days. However today 22nd dec, I see brown spotting- started my period again today??

I lost my appetite 5 days ago and had diaorriah. These are not my usual symptoms before i start a period. I usually get really big appetite before i get a period. Even spotting today, I still have no appetite and appetite would only come in the morning. I stopped breastfeeding 2 months postpartum.
