Dr. Barbara Toppinanswered
Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Yes: After a pregnancy loss most patients will bleed. The length of time is variable from a few days to a few weeks. The normal menses should then resume. On occasion the bleeding continues,
this may be a sign of retained tissue and should be investigated.
The md will do blood tests, examination and ultrasound.
If tissue is present a D&C or meds may be needed.

The bleeding or spotting after a miscarriage may last up to a week or so, but should be progressively lighter each day. If bleeding has not resolved within this time, or if you develop increased pain or a fever, you should see your doctor.

Can you have a miscarriage without any bleeding?

Unusual: You may bleed like a heavy period and actually be having a miscarriage. Rarely will the pregnancy just be absorbed by the body. If you have missed a period and have a positive pregnancy test, you need to see a doctor.
