Expert: Mohamed Kandeel - 10/27/2009
Question
4 weeks ago I had a miscarriage. I bled for about 10 days then the bleeding subsided to spotting. A few days ago, the bleeding increased (bright red) like a light period. Does the continued and increased bleeding indicate an incomplete miscarriage (retained tissue) Also, my hCg levels have not decreased to below 5 (htp still reading positive)
Thanks Christine
Answer
Dear Christine
The level of hCG may take up to 4 weeks to go back to nonpregnant level and may never returns back to zero (5 is quite normal). No one can ever tell if you miscarriage is incopmlete except after examination by ultrasound. The symptoms you dscribe of increased spotting after being stopped are suggestive for some remnants of pregnancy still inside your uterus. Therefore, i advise a transvaginal ultrasound for proper diagnosis.
Good Luck
