General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It can take a few weeks to months for the period to restart after delivery.

It would depend on different factors such as: (1) whether you are breast feeding- this delays the periods
(2) your sleep habits and diet- the first few months can be stressful and affect these areas which would then affect hormone levels and therefore the period cycle

The yellow discharge and discomfort may indicate that an infection may be present that needs treatment. Yeast infections are the most common reason for yellow discharge, this can be treated with oral or topical medications.

It would be best to see your doctor for assessment so that he or she can assess and treat appropriately.

I hope this helps
