Welcome to EmpowHER. It takes a few weeks to a month or more to recover physically from a miscarriage. Your recovery will depend on how far along you were into the pregnancy. Some women experience the following physical effects:
Vaginal bleeding, similar to a menstrual period, may last up to a week after a miscarriage.
Light bleeding, or spotting.
Depending on your menstrual cycle, normal periods should resume in 3-6 weeks.
Lower abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps may last up to 2 days after the miscarriage.
Breast discomfort, engorgement or leaking milk; ice packs and a supportive bra may relieve discomfort. This discomfort usually stops within a week.
Some pregnancy hormones remain in the blood for one to two months after a miscarriage.
You might need to let your doctor know how you feel.
