Irregular periods and weird discharge after miscarriage

Sorry if this is tmi but wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience.
I had medical management for a missed miscarriage on the 10th May, bled for a week and a half and had a period 6 weeks later. My first period was oddly not at all painful compared to the periods I had before the miscarriage and a lot less bleeding than I am used to. From other threads on here I had read that many ladies first period after loss is heavy and painful and so I was surprised when it wasn’t. About 2 weeks later after my 1st period I had brown spotting with stringy brown clots and jelly blobs of discharge which I have never had before. I usually don’t ever bleed in between my periods. From what I’ve read about the jelly like discharge it can be a sign of ovulation but I’ve never had this before. Perhaps because we are extra fertile after a mc? My 2nd period after this came a week late and was similar to the first one(light and almost painless). Before my miscarriage I was always very regular (29 day cycle) so this is strange for me. Again this cycle had the jelly discharge day 12 of cycle. Any advice would be wonderful!

I can’t really offer any help but I’m 17 days post ERPC for missed miscarriage and had brown jelly like discharge when I wiped yesterday and today. Never had this before and thinking maybe it is ovulation and some left over blood or AF but really no idea? Did you AF come soon after the brown discharge or 2 weeks later? If you are getting AF two weeks after you get this discharge I would say it is ovulation xx

First of all, I am sorry for both of your losses. I also had a missed miscarriage and I eventually passed everything naturally. I had my first period since then and ovulated 5 days ago. For the last 3-4 days, I've been having dark brown to almost black lumpy bleeding/spotting. I don't think it is a period because it is not enough blood. I am not quite sure what it is myself...

I sort of had similar. I had surgery in May. My first cycle in June was very odd. I usually have some cervical mucus when I go to the toilet in the fertile window. That cycle I had some but it was very stringy, literally like pouring raw egg from a cup. It was not usual for me. Then a week later it happened again. Then the AF was very light and short (2-2.5days). My usually AF is medium for 5+ days as a minimum. The second cycle improved a bit for the cervical mucus, but my period was still light/short.
I tracked ovulation that second cycle, the stringy mucus concerned me. However it turned out that I had ovulated.

Hi ladies, I was wondering how your all getting on? I’m currently going thought the exact same thing!
Miscarriage, surgery to remove, retained tissue or blood 1.5cm, period 5 weeks later and then from 2 days after period this odd brown thick (sometimes stringy) discharge when wiping? This has been going on now for 4 days with ovarian pain? X
