7 months PP and period lasting over 3 weeks

Hi, my baby has just turned 7 months. I am on progesterone only pill since 8 week check, I had one period probably around 10 weeks, then nothing for a few months. Last month a period came, and it's not gone for at least three weeks. Getting pretty tiresome now.
I stopped breastfeeding at 5 months PP... can I "just" put this down to hormones sorting themselves out?!
I also get recurrent thrush, have been on 6 month fluconazole course which has just finished. The period has bought on a bad case of it. I'm so fed up! Any advice? Thanks!

The cause of the persistant bleeding needs to be properly established; you need to seek medical attention asap from a GP or a sexual health clinic.

Definitely one for the GP. Also get them to measure your iron levels - bleeding for that long can leave you really depleted. You might need some iron tablets as a top-up
