After a pregnancy loss at 5 months, intermittent spotting can be normal and may last anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks as the uterus heals and hormone levels normalize.
However, if the spotting is accompanied by heavy bleeding, foul-smelling discharge, fever, or severe pain, it is important to consult a doctor promptly to rule out any retained tissue or infection.
A follow-up ultrasound is generally recommended to ensure the uterus has cleared completely.
