"Current medical status: (2nd July)scan at 10 weeks following spotting showed fetus at 6 weeks. during following week, heavy bleeding and cramping, follow up scan after one week (9th July) at hospital diagnosed complete miscarriage. advised to do preg test after one week - positive result (16th July). advised to do further test and possibly go in for bloods to measure hcg (due). light bleeding started this morning following intercourse."


It is very hard to say what causes bleeding 2 weeks after a miscarriage. The blood might be due to the miscarriage itself or it might not even be connected to the previous miscarriage at all. It is recommended that visit your gynecologist to identify the exact reason for the bleeding. A pregnancy test usually becomes negative 2 weeks after a miscarriage.
