How do you know a miscarriage has ended?

Published in Miscarriage Completion 1 min read

A miscarriage is likely complete when bleeding and pain stop, typically after 7 to 14 days.

After experiencing a miscarriage, understanding when it has ended is important for both physical and emotional well-being. The following points can help determine if a miscarriage is complete:

  • Cessation of Bleeding and Pain: One of the primary indicators is when the bleeding and pain associated with the miscarriage subside. According to medical advice, if your bleeding and pain stop after approximately 7 to 14 days, this suggests the miscarriage may be complete.

  • Follow-up Urine Pregnancy Test: Your doctor may ask you to take a urine pregnancy test approximately three weeks after the bleeding stops. A negative result indicates that the pregnancy hormones have returned to normal levels, further confirming the completion of the miscarriage.

It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for confirmation and guidance throughout this process. They can provide personalized advice and ensure your health and well-being.
