Hoping that the ladies here can reassure me that what is happening to my body post mc is normal.
I was pregnant last year but the 12 weeks scan showed that the baby stopped developing at around 8 weeks. The next day on 21st November I undertook medical management for the miscarriage. At the time I had heavy bleeding but only for a short length of time and would say the bleeding from about day 2 post mc to about a week later was light to at times spotting.
The wait until the next period is a horrible and stressful time but AF came 4 1/2 weeks later on Xmas eve. I suffered lots of cramps on the day AF arrived and in the week preceding it. I normally have no cramps with AF but have been trying to keep in mind post mc that there really is no normal and to not stress out if things are different.
I have then assumed that my next cycle should be relatively normal. However I am experiencing some spotting and brown discharge at the moment and am yet to ovulate (I have been using OPKS the last few days). At first (CD8) if was a pinkish tinge when wiping (sorry TMI), but then the next day it was a little spotting, but didnt need a liner. This morning (CD10) there was no sign of spotting and we DTD, but a few hours later I noticed I was spotting again but this time enough to need a liner. This spotting is really worrying me as it is not something I have ever had before. Is this common after MC? should I be worried? do other ladies experience mid cycle spotting?
Really hoping for some reassurance. Thanks and sorry for the long post.

The OPKs the last 2 days have shown up a second line (the day before that was just the control line) but not as dark as the control so i think i am yet to ovulate. Hopefully the bleeding will stop in time to BD at least once in the fertile period so we at least have a chance. I think I feel more frustrated as I have no idea why i'm bleeding.
