how long will it take to happen natrually?

[chewit12]

Hi, ive recently found out that I am 8 weeks pregnant but that the sack is empty so therefor a failing pregnancy. The doctors havnt been very good and basically sent me away saying that I will miscarry natrually, with in a week or two. I was not given any other options, and probally wouldnt choose them anyway, for my own personal reasons. I ws just wondering, as it is coming up to two weeks now, how much longer my body could take to miscarry natrually and is it worse the longer it takes. My heart goes out to all you girls out there in a similar situation to me. x

Sorry to hear your news. I went through this recently - it took me three weeks. I was told it could take up to 5 weeks to happen naturally.

So sorry for what you are going through. It is a horrible time but things do get better.

I found out that I was only measuring 5.5 weeks with no heartbeat when I was meant to be 9.5. I had had a bit of spotting and this continued but 6 weeks after finding out, I still had not completely miscarried and had an ERPC. So it can take a long time. In hindsight I wish I hadn't waited so long before having an ERPC. It was very difficult as I couldn't move on and I never knew when it might happen and had to keep returning for more scans. After the ERPC it was much easier to move on.
