Light Periods After Miscarriage. On The Pill. Should I Be Concerned?

Hi. I had a miscarriage in July. I was really early in 4 weeks exactly and had just found out i was pregnant. When I went to ER they did an US but no d/c. Since then every period I ve had has been lighter than usual (i m on the pill ) and more coffee grounds than fresh blood . For me the coffee grounds are usually only for half a day at the begining of the cycle. Should i be concerned?

Hi,
If the completion of the abortion was confirmed through a clinical exam and a sonogram, it is enough. The cause of the current scanty menstruation is perhaps due to the pill and also common for some time after an abortion due to the hormone disturbances that ensue thereafter. You should however, get a proper clinical evaluation to see the hormone status, a trans-vaginal sonogram to assess the pelvic organs and blood counts and urinalysis. Please maintain genital hygiene, proper nutrition and a healthy weight. Take care.
