Maybe: Spotting and bleeding can last up to 8 weeks after a miscarriage. If you are having pelvic pain, fever, foul-smelling discharge, pelvic heaviness, or excessive tiredness, you may have an infection in your uterus; see your doctor. If none of those, were your periods normal before pregnancy? If yes, wait another 3 weeks and then see your doctor. If no, wait about 6 weeks. Good health!
