See your doctor: There are some issues that can be serious after a miscarriage and prolonged vaginal bleeding can signal a need to investigate the possibility of these issues. An ultrasound usually tells a physician if there are still products of pregnancy within the uterus. Blood tests and cultures can help check for infections after miscarriage. You need to be seen by your doctor.

Call your doc: Sounds like old blood vs a new bleed, but do phone your doc for best advice or re exam. 3 weeks is too long to ignore.
