Is Vaginal Bleeding 3 Weeks Post Menstruation Due Date Because Of A Miscarriage?

default
Posted on Thu, 24 May 2018
Question: My period is three weeks late and I just started bleeding with severe cramps in my abdomen and back that are different from my usual. Not sure if a period can come that late or be an early miscarriage.


------------------------------------------------------



So if the test comes up positive it could be a miscarriage? If not something else?

Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If the test comes as positive it can be a missed abortion and you definitely need to consult a Gynaecologist to confirm completion of abortion.

If not, then the cause for delay and excessive bleeding needs to sort out.
