Post-Miscarriage Bleeding: Causes & Fertility Concerns

Question
I had a miscarriage on august 19 2008. I had a normal period afterwards for two monhhs. now I bleed just about every other week. just like a period. starts off light gets heavy. also I clot a lot. me and my husband are tryin to conceive but with this constant bleeding it makes it very difficult. I made an appointment  and had a pap smer  done. results were normal. I do not understand what could be causing this. does it mean I am not ovulating now. please let me know what you thnk and what I could do

Answer
Hello,

There is some type of abnormality going on.  I cannot determine it based on the limited information that you have given me.  The possibilities are a hormonal dysfunction or an anatomical problem such as a cervical, endometrial or uterine abnormality.  You will need an evaluation to find this out.  The most likely culprit is a hormonal problem or ovarian dysfunction.
