The further along you are when you miscarry, the heavier or longer the bleeding will remain. I was only 4 weeks along and my period was only a day longer than usual, but it was incredibly heavy the first 2 days, trailing to random spotting by the end of it. I really don't think the ultrasound had anything to do with it.

Thanks jannymac for your response. My mc was at 8 weeks and the bleeding after that was much more and lasted longer. Apologies for the confusion in my question, but I am referring to the cycle 'after' the mc bleeding being much heavier than usual. This was my 4th mc and after the previous mcs my periods returned to normal bleeding in the cycle following the mc (albeit a few day days late)..the bleeding this cycle continued much longer and I had little tissue bits on day 6 which I think may be the reslt of he scan..as my bleeding initially. Went to spotting by end of day 3 and then started again with these little tissue bits in the toilet bowl...

Sorry about your loss. I miscarried at nine weeks and I was shocked at the heaviness of my first 'real' period after the d&c. Mine went back to normal the following cycle.

Thank you hungrybetty for responding. I am also sorry to hear of your loss..It's really tough...it was really helpful to read that you had a heavier period too..
