Not unusual: Since you are only just over 2 weeks out from the miscarriage, this is probably withdrawal bleeding from a change in hormones. It is important to follow up and make sure the pregnancy hormone level becomes negative. Otherwise , you don't need to worry unless bleeding or pain increases significantly.
