spotting after exercise?

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.6 mph. It is certainly not the 6 mph I was used to, but I wanted to start off slowly.

I started spotting for the first time since Thursday. Anyone else experience this?

you haven't spotted at all since the loss? Well, I didn't start really bleeding until almost a week later and the dr. told me that's normal.

I'm sorry, I should've clarified. I had a D&E on 11/7. The spotting stopped from that on Thursday. I just didn't know if exercise may cause some additional spotting. TIA.

I bled for a long time, but it definitely increased when I exercised.  I would have a few days with basically nothing, then go on a long bike ride and would bleed a fair amount.  I think it is normal.

Prior to my pg and mc I used to have that problem a day or two after I finished AF.  For me it happened more with weight training..but I also occasionally with cardio.  I mentioned it to the NP at my OB office and she was not overly concerned about it...told me to check back with them if it continued for more than 3 months....but I got pg before I could make the determination!  I wish I had an answer for you...but I'll be looking to see if you post any info you get your OB.  LOL!!  I probably won't know till after my 1st cycle if I still have the problem!!

I never had spotting prior to ever being pregnant, so I do think this is D&E related. I will just continue to take is slow since I do not want to wait to get in shape.

I spotted the first few times I worked out post D&C.  Not a whole lot, but it was definitely there.  I think it was just because my body had been so immobile for a week or so and so it was the first real activity.  HTH.

I would actually wait a little longer to exercise. After my D & C the dr. told me to wait for 4-6 weeks to exercise, even sex.
