Light spotting no period after miscarriage

Yes, I had a miscarriage on the 23rd of Jun and a D&C on the 26th. I have to healthy children. And the doctor says everything is okay. My husband and I started having sex again a couple weeks ago. Well we had intercourse alot last week then on Saturday I spotted to two little spots so I thought I was getting my period and then nothing no cramps, no bloating nothing. We did not use BC or protection. The doctor told me to start my birth control the first Sunday after my first cycle? Should I start it now? can I be pregannat again or is this normal?

Hello,

Yes it is possible you could be pregnant. I would delay initiating your contraception until you have been adequately evaluated for the possibility of being pregnant.  You can try a home pregnancy test kit, or even better, be see by your physician to confirm a pregnancy.  

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

i was hoping to get some help...

i have always been irregular with my periods.  lately, i have gone without periods for two and sometimes three months. i went to the dr. and had several tests done, they counted my hormones, had an sonogram to check ovaries, blood work, the works... when results came back doctor said everything is fine, that my ovaries are lazy and that it was nothing to be worried about... since i have been trying to concieve, he gave me clomid to help with the ovulation.  my cycles got regular for about three months.... however, i had to stop medication because i was retaining water, so my family dr. said to stop any medication until the retention stopped.
i did. then i had no period for two months.  now i have been spotting for two weeks. only once a day, very light and red.... i have taken several PT, but come out negative.
what is going on?
