Period 2 weeks after miscarriage or miscarriage bleeding?

1 reply

I had a MMC at 12 weeks, the miscarriage happened naturally 2 weeks ago. Bleeding got lighter, then brown before I passed what I think was the final bit of pregnancy tissue (10 days after the miscarriage). Last week the discharge was minimal, but last night and today has gone back to red blood. Is this likely to be continued miscarriage bleeding, or could it be a period? Anyone had similar?

You normally need to take a pregnancy test a couple of weeks after the miscarriage to confirm it's negative and meaningful the miscarriage is over. If you haven't had a negative test yet this could be a continuation of the miscarriage as you may still have retained tissue from the pregnancy.

I'd take a test today and see if it's still positive. Are you under hospital care currently where you can call for advice? Is the flow similar to your period or miscarriage?

I had a MMC 2 years ago and I bled heavily every 7 days for a months before everything had passed.
