What Causes Black Vaginal Discharge After A Missed Miscarriage?

I had a missed miscarriage nearly 2 weeks ago and am still getting a lot of pain and bleeding is on and off. Today I have experienced some black discharge like stuff when I go to the toilet. I have had unprotected sex a few days ago. Could this be the end of my bleeding or that I could be pregnant again? My husband and I want to try again straight away for another baby.

Hi! don't neglect this; urgently investigate its cause!

This is not a common complaint and I must have thought of certain circumstances where we see this kind of black vaginal discharge 2 weeks after a missed miscarriage like:

1. small clotted blood retained in the uterine cavity

2. incomplete abortion

3. endometrial infection

4. abnormal uterine bleeding

5. cervical trauma

6. abnormal pregnancy like molar pregnancy

7. fresh vaginal bleeding

Therefore some tests like pregnancy test, USG, PAP etc could be advised by your gynecologist other than a pervaginal examination to relieve your concerns!
