TMI.. AF after MC

Beth
3 days ago I started bleeding very lightly, it was very dark brown/black very similar to when I started my MC last month and it's now got heavier.. It may sound silly, but before I was pregnant, I didn't really pay much attention to my AF's they were just 'normal' and I used tampons, so never paid much attention to the bleeding (as I couldn't really see it) but after having my MC and always checking when going to the toilet and clots were passing onto my pad, I just notice things in my blood now, which could well have been like it before but I never really looked. Is it normal that my blood still has a few small clots in and is quite stringy? What were your experiences with first AF after your MC? I know it's my body getting 'back to normal' again after MC but I just don't know what is normal.. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have gotten my AF as now we can start TTC again but it just brings back all the memories of just a few weeks back of my MC and I am finding it hard.. 
If you could let me know if your experiences were similar or what you perceive to be 'normal' although everyone always has a different version of that eh? Thank you ☺️
