This is not usually,common or normal. You need to visit your doctor.
First of all, I am so very sorry this happened to you. I do hope that you are coping and that you have some support. Pain that persists for 2 months following a miscarriage should really be evaluated soon by your ob/gyn physician with an exam, lab work, and a pelvic ultrasound to look at the uterus and ovaries. I also would like to make you aware of a free phone app developed by very respected reproductive psychologists and my patients have found it to be a helpful resource: http://ferticalm.com/. Although words provide little comfort, nonetheless I wish you some peace as you heal.
