Brown discharge after miscarriage

[Gs7772]

I had a miscarriage and D&C about 2 months ago at 10 weeks into my first pregnancy. I bled for about 10 days then everything seemed to clear up and get back to normal. But for the last 3 weeks I keep having some brown discharge, only a little bit. It seems to last about 1 to 2 days but keeps happening every 3 to 4 days. I haven't had a period since the miscarriage but my periods were very irregular before I got pregnant. Is this brown discharge normal? Surely they cleaned all my uterus out during the D&C, I saw the pathology report stating they found the gestational sac etc. Why do I keep getting this discharge?

And also I found out I was pregnant with the misscarrage when I was 3weeks and I was very sick even before the test was positive..it was my 5th pregnancy as well I know people say the more pregnancies the sooner symptoms come. ..

I misscarried as well June 27th and just stopped bleeding about a week in a half ago...and had unprotected sex and he didn't pull out... I don't know when I would have been ovulating but I've been feeling nauseous and craving certain foods...could I b pregnant?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would bring you in for an ultrasound to rule out retained products of conception.  It is not terribly unusual for women to have irregular bleeding for awhile after a miscarriage, but I would want to be certain that everything was back to normal within the uterus. I might offer you a short course of oral contraceptives to try to regulate
your cycle a bit if everything appeared normal on the scan.
Hope this helps!
