Michelle, Sounds like we are on about the same schedule.....I'm suppposed to ovulate on or around 1/23...If you www.babymed.com there is a pregnancy calander on there (on the left of the screen in the menu)...It' free and easy to use...put in your LMP and it will tell you about when you should ovulate, what days are best to TTC, etc.....Good luck!

I had a missed miscarriage on 12/5 and d and c on 12/11. My period started on January 2nd. It was the tiniest bit of brown spotting for 4 days then heavy flow w/o cramping for 3 days. I am happy be getting it because I know I can ttc again- my question is: when will I ovulate???

I had a D&C on 12/10 due to a missed miscarriage and I started my period yesterday....started off very light (brownish)....just wore a pantyliner...and today is another story!  Much heavier....yet only a tad heavier than my norm....So you may get more in the near future!  Best of luck!

I got my period exactly a month after my miscarriage. It wasn't real heavy, but heavier than my normal periods. It lasted about 5 days, no bad pain. But I would assume that was your period. Good Luck!

Yup, sounds like a period to me! My normal periods are 2 days long and light. So... sounds like you're on the right track if you're TTC again!

Oh and it took me 8 weeks to get a period after my m/c. I believe it was only 2 or 3 days long.

I've heard more than one doctor say that any bleeding is considered a period, even if it is a spot of blood on one day. My three docs told me this, my SIL's fertility doctor also said this. It may be that you're period is just beginning very slowly or that you'll have a big one soon. My period after my miscarriage was more painful than normal. But every woman is different!
