Started my period on the 16th and it's still coming and going!

I thought I would start ovulating by next week but now I'm not sure... I started my period after 1 weeks after on the 7th of sept., my miscarriage was on August 31th (my Birthday....it was hard enough but to be that day...)
I started my 2nd period bleeding on the Saturday, 16th of October spotting and nothing big it was on and off for a few days then slightly more bleeding then more spoting thru the weekend, then nothing Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and then today Wednesday mid day I check my cervix to see what it feels like it was hard still but I didn't feel or see blood at the time.
But later when I visited the bathroom I saw bright red blood. Could it have started again or maybe did I nic the inside of me? I've checked my cervx before but never have I drawn blood... is that possible? Or could have just restarted my flow?
I know I've heard that things can be irregular after a miscarriage but I know that I've already ovulated on my last cycle.... At least I feel like I did and I saw all the signs. I want to know has anyone had this happen before!?

Sorry for your loss.

I had a miscarriage on August 3. My first cycle was very normal -- positive OPKs and normal temps. The only difference I saw was a shorter luteal phase than normal.

my second period was different (still in this 2nd cycle). It was a heavy period and I've spotted on and off throughout the entire cycle. I've never spotted before in my life. I was certain I was having an "anovulation cycle" but I did get positive OPKs and a temp rise. Overall temps, however, have been kinda erratic. I guess it still could be an anovulation cycle.

just wanted to let you know that I've done some research (okay, a lot), and talked to my doc, and the consensus is that it can take a while for things to normalize.

Hope that helps some.

Thank you for responding, Heinz... I feel robbed... Like I should be expecting my 20th week.... I haven't felt sad lately until now... I just want to not feel broken. I want to get on with my cycle... I've never spoted in my life either.. time will tell....
But what are OPKs? I'm new to all this lingo... what are the other abrievations... I read all the post and see all sorts of ones

Hey GreenMum10, I have my ups and downs too. I'm not trying again until Dec/January because I have a new job and need to wait a little (for sanity sake). I'm praying my cycle returns to its normal self in the interim.

OPKs - ovulation prediction kit tests. TTC - trying to conceive. BFP - big fat positive.

Your healthy pregnancy will come! Patience and distractions until then. PM me if you want to talk.
