I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks of pregnancy, how do I know if the bleeding I'm having now means my period is coming back?

Hi, I had a miscarriage on Friday, I was 5 weeks pregnant and had some bleeding. I had some bleeding from Friday to Sunday, was it the return of my period or not, and if not, when should it return?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

Bleeding is normal after a miscarriage due to hormonal changes, but it is impossible to know if it is really the return of your period, nor the expected time for its return. It is impossible to predict, unfortunately.

Don't hesitate if you have any other questions
