bettyboop, firstly let me say how sorry I am to read of your loss. My thoughts are with you.

I had a M/C in 2001. Blighted ovuum. I started to have slight bleeding (dark brown) at 7 weeks. They did an U/S the next day and thought it was an early pregnancy as it was showing about 5weeks. I knew my dates weren't out so knew that this baby wasn't to be. They checked me again a week later and still no H/B. I decided to let nature take it's course. I bled up until 10 weeks like a light period. Then the morning of my next appointment I had such a gush and was filling a pad every half hour. By the time I got to the hospital it had all but stopped so I was pretty sure everything was over. Sure enough, the U/S revealed no retained products and I had miscarried completely.

I found that this was better for me. But remember, I was already bleeding so the miscarriage was already underway before I knew anything was wrong. I prefer to avoid a D&C if possible but it is an individual thing - everyone is different.

I hope this helps you in some way. I will be thinking of you.
Hugs,
Debbie
