To wonder when I'll start bleeding? Miscarriage related

I posted in pregnancy but didn't really get an answer.

On Thursday I got an expected bfp. Such a shock (I'm on the pill) I took 5 tests, 4 positive and a negative clear blue digital. Friday AM I did another CBD with fmu, positive. Yesterday I did 2 tests, an internet cheapy, which was v.v. faint and a CBD which was negative. My symptoms have lessened too. I'm pretty certain of the outcome. Another test this morning was negative.

I haven't started bleeding yet. How long till I do, or how until I need to see someone to get it started? I'm assuming if I don't start bleeding soon I'm at risk of infection?

I don't really want to faff around with blood tests, wasting my time and theirs, I just want it over now.

I'd likely be either 4.5 or 6 weeks pregnant

I'm sorry, it's hard to say. I seem to loose quite quickly so in a couple off days from noticing fading tests.

I don't know about infection; I wouldn't have thought so as missed mc can remain for weeks.

You could look in/ post in the pregnancy loss section.

Of days

Sorry you're going through this. Please look after yourself. If nothing has happened in a couple of days do go and see your gp who can hopefully refer you to the hospital to get sorted out.

Im sorry you are going through this. You need to wait a week. Test again in a week. If you geyva negative result you need to go to the doctor. When I had a chemical pregnancy I started bleeding a day or two after the tests turned to bfn. When I miscarried at 13 weeks, I stopped bleeding a few weeks before the tests turned to bfn. There are no hard and fast rules. You will never be wasting a GPS time.

Also, I had an infection after my mc. I'd had a missed mc though. The infection happened a month after I'd physically passed my baby. There were some 'retained products.' Usually they come away with your next af. Mine didn't.

I had a missed m/c. Lost the baby at 9 weeks but didn't start bleeding until nearly 12. No infection, and it all happened spontaneously. At your gestation, I wouldn't expect it to take 3 weeks, though.
Sorry for your loss
