Brief Answer:
Need more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I'm so sorry about your miscarriage.

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

Usually period will resume 4-6 weeks after miscarriage, only in a few patients, it will take 2-3 months but in your case it is already 4 months.

Can you please answer a few of my questions and then I will be able to give a better opinion to you.

Is D&C done after miscarriage?
Are you experiencing any cramping?
Are you having any bleeding or discharge?

Please revert back to me with my answer.

Hope to hearing from you soon.

Good luck.
Regards

What is d&c?
Ive received a lil cramping nothing to really talk about.
The discharge is a clear but when I wipe with wipes I'm seeing small particles or dry blood, after I'm finish having sex. Just now I wiped again and was seeing a lightish pinkish discharge but still no period . Wiped one last time n it's back clear.

Brief Answer:
It is a surgical procedure for abortion.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you again.

There are two methods of abortion one is medical and other is surgical.

D&C (Dilation and curettage) is a surgical method of abortion.
Have you gone through this or miscarriage was spontaneous or through medicines?
If D&C was done than chances of asherman syndrome are most common cause of delayed period in your case.

Your symptoms of light spotting can be due to hormonal changes because it is clear and not associated with any odour and itching than chances of infection are very less.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
