How can I tell if I have a complete miscarriage?

Question: My baby wasn't growing after 6 weeks and no heartbeat either. I didn't want a D&C so my Doctor inserted 4 tablets inside me to induce miscarriage/abortion. Went back to the doctor for follow-up 2 days later and did an ultrasound. I was told that all tissues had pass, uterus was clean and uterine lining was thin. I still see some tissue passing when I got home along with blood clots. The blood that's flowing out is very thick and stretchy, also flowing out really slow. Is that normal? Anyway, it's been 10 days already and I'm still bleeding. Not a lot or heavy, it's just a little here and there throughout the day for about 3 days now. How can I tell that all tissue had pass with that kind of bleeding? Miscarriage bleeding wasn't as heavy like what the doctor told me. It's just like a normal period to me. Although the bleeding looks like it's going to stop any day now, I'm still worry that it might be an incomplete miscarriage. Please help! Thanks!

Answers:
If you continue to have bleeding, then there may be some tissue that didn't get expelled from the uterus. As long as the bleeding is scant, you can probably just wait and see if the bleeding stops on it's own. If the bleeding continues, the only thing to do at that point would be a D&C.

Talk to your doctor, that's what he/she is there for. Don't take any chances with your health.
