Periods after kids

Hi everyone! Bit of background I was diagnosed with Pcos aged18 (20 years ago!). I've had two kids through IVF. Prior to children I didn't have periods at all. Some after my first child and some after my second. I now haven't had a proper bleed since November but for past two months I'm getting spotting but every day, only when go to toilet so not even enough for a pad or anything. Does anyone have similar? I'm not keen to go back on pill as we have an embryo left and hope to go back for this within the next year. Thanks in advance

so you should have settled by now!! Is your weight pretty consistent as a fluctuation in weight can cause symptoms to flare up
