"spotting" : If you have been on low dose oral contraceptives since your miscarriage, one cause could be your not taking the active pills punctually, and within the hour of the previous active pill, causing minor "withdrawal bleeding". Stop the oral bcp's, wait 5 days, and start a new pack. If the spotting continues despite being punctual, ask your gyn provider about a pelvic ultrasound.
