How long did it take to start?

On Friday at 7+5 I went to a&e with pains and I had some red blood. They scanned and it was inconclusive. Took bloods which were at 5,000 hcg. Back for bloods and a scan yesterday at 8 weeks, still light bleeding and was told my empty sac measured 18mm - 5+6. Bloods had gone down to 4,000. They are sure I will miscarry.

I was sent home with painkillers. I have a scan booked tomorrow to double check. And an appointment next Monday to check if sac has come away. But as my baby died 2 weeks ago shouldn't the heavy bleeding have started if it was going to work naturally? They said I can have treatment but prefer to wait a week to see if nature runs its course.

This is my first mc. What are your experiences?

I'm so sorry to hear that sad news. Thanks Please look after yourself over the coming days.

I've had 2 mcs and one took about 5 days post confirmation scan, the other a while longer but I've known friends where it happened straight away.

You may find the Miscarriage Association helpful for information and a listening ear, there are also some lovely threads on here - under conception I think.

Thank you. I miscarried this afternoon, 1 day after confirmation scan and 1 week 3 days since the baby stopped growing. Thank you for the websites too.
