How long can a miscarriage, passing of the baby, go on for?
Blood clot last weekend, with brown stringy bits coming out all week and then yesterday more thick bleeding?
I'm about 10 weeks ish, been diagnosed with parvo virus and told it's common to miscarry when have the virus in early pregnancy.

It can take a surprisingly long time, or be over very quickly, it varies immensely. And the longer the pregnancy went on, the longer it can take. A week isn't abnormally long.

If you have any severe pain or the bleeding smells bad/funny, you need to be seen. Otherwise no need to worry for the moment. Sorry for your troubles and best of luck x

Mine took 3-4 days at 10 weeks ish.
Sorry for your loss :(

There is a small chance you might have an infection, but it doesn't sound too abnormal. If the smell gets any stronger or the pain gets worse, get looked at. Better safe than sorry at this point.
