what could this mean?

good morning everyone,

i had a miscarriage a month ago i was 6 weeks and a few days. i haven’t had a period since and my period was due monday 18th (i’m aware that it can take time for your period to regulate). a few days before my period was due i was getting mild cramping and i never get this before my period i had it before i found out i was pregnant the first time and i have taken tests they are all negative.. last night when i wiped i had some pink discharge and then this morning i have had some brown discharge in my underwear but still no period i am still getting some mild cramps now and again. myself and my partner have been trying again but i don’t believe i have fallen pregnant again so quickly, anybody any ideas what this could be?

It sounds like it's your period trying to start.

I'm not quite sure on the timing in your case, but if you started bleeding from your miscarriage a month ago it may have taken some time for your HCG to return to zero. After my miscarriages I think I have tended to ovulate with HCG still in my system, but it hasn't been a very strong ovulation and then I've had a very short, light period soon after my HCG hit zero. I think it was because my uterine lining couldn't thicken properly before ovulation as I was still bleeding from the miscarriage, so there wasn't much blood when I got my period.

Your next cycle should be more normal.

my HCG levels hit zero after a week as i was getting blood tests and i’ve had negative tests after about 3 days when i stopped bleeding from the miscarriage but thank you for the information it is much appreciated X
