Is a miscarriage at 6 weeks biochemical?

Patient's question:

Hello, there is a little bleeding from the vagina, but it's not the time it should be for menstruation. It's been about twenty days since the last sexual activity. Could it be a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, biochemical pregnancy occurs around one month into the early stages of pregnancy. Recovery after a miscarriage typically takes about one month. Therefore, sexual intercourse should only occur after menstruation has completely stopped. During the recovery period, it is not advisable to have sexual contact too soon.
Generally, bleeding after a miscarriage usually stops within about a week. If it persists for a month, it may be related to poor uterine contractions and the presence of blood clots in the uterine cavity. In such cases, it is recommended to undergo a follow-up examination, including an ultrasound, to assess the recovery of the uterus.
