When is a m/c technically over?

I tried to go naturally and after a week of bleeding (heavy a couple days with cramping), I still had tissue so took misoprostol.  I'm pretty sure I passed the tissue last weekend even though it wasn't too painful.  Since then I've had this pinkish brown mucus when I wipe but no real period like bleeding.  I've been having what feels like ovulation pains the past few days.  I know it varies for each woman and it says most get their period 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage but is that counting from when the bleeding started, when the tissue was passed or when the bleeding/spotting completely stopped?  Is it possible that I could ovulate while still spotting?  Technically its been three weeks since I first started to miscarry, but only 1 week since I passed the last of the tissue.

My doc told me it's only a period if it's been no bleeding a min of 20 days from when the bleeding/spotting ENDED. ?She also said if you're still spotting after the 5-10 days for a miscarriage, call your doc.

I've also heard from many sources, don't try again till your periods are regular again (because it's difficult to get a EDD)?so I hope you're not wondering if you're ovulating for that reason...?

I miscarried last month. I bled heavily for the first 5 days then bled light for another 5 and then spotted and had that same kind of pinkish brown mucus for another 8 days. It took a total 18 days to stop. I went back and forth to my OB a few times since it was over so many days. The last time I saw him he told me that it looked like I was getting ready to ovulate. SO I am hoping to see a period within a week or so....

I was about 25 days to stop bleeding and I didn't see a 'normal' period until 3 months later.
