Light spotting about 5 1/2 weeks after a miscarriage; two home pregnancy tests say negative. What’s the deal?
A Parent asks, I had a miscarriage almost 6 weeks ago. Yesterday I started bleeding very lightly, but it’s pretty much gone now. I’ve had a few of the regular pregnancy symptoms, like major fatigue, frequent urination and very tender breasts. I realize these could just be signs of PMS, but if that’s so, then why is my period almost 2 weeks late? I’ve taken two home pregnancy tests, but both were negative. My period is about 10 days late so I would think that if I were pregnant, it should be showing up on a home pregnancy test by now (I tested once at 4 days late and again at 8 days late). My biggest fear is that this light bleeding is the beginning of another miscarriage. I’m worried and hope that someone might have some advice.

it may take a while for your body to get back to normal after a miscarriage. if it is causing you stress, I would check with your doctor.
call your ob for a blood test sounds like you are pg again, good luck
Or you may have a slight hemmorage that may have happened at your last miscarraige. Just be careful get checked by your doctor be safe.

Understanding miscarriage
Miscarriage is heartbreaking. It might help to understand possible causes and treatment options, as well as what to expect for the future.
Miscarriage is a relatively common experience — but that doesn’t make it any easier. Ending a pregnancy without a baby to hold in your arms is heartbreaking. Take a step toward emotional healing by understanding what can cause a miscarriage, what increases the risk and what medical care might be needed.
What is a miscarriage?
Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy without obvious cause before the 20th week. About 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). But the actual number is probably much higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn’t even know she’s pregnant.
Most miscarriages occur before the 12th week of pregnancy.
Signs and symptoms include:
·Vaginal spotting or bleeding
·Pain or cramping in your abdomen or lower back
·Fluid or tissue passing from your vagina
Keep in mind that spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy is fairly common. In most cases, women who experience light bleeding in the first trimester go on to have successful pregnancies. Sometimes even heavier bleeding doesn’t result in miscarriage.
