I'm so sorry you have lost your baby. All my m/c started as spotting, then pretty much bleeding like a heavy period in a few days. I think it would be best to go back and have another scan & bloods to see what is happening.
With my latest one I start spotting on and off for about 2 weeks, long story short once it was confirmed I was going to miscarry, the spotting had continued for another week.... It then stopped again, had a red bleed on Sunday morning, then another on Monday... that week it was light red lighter than a period.. Then on that weekend I had severe cramping, but still light red blood.. Then Monday lunch time the clots started coming with 'labor' type pains... Monday 5.45pm I had my baby boy... That whole day I had huge clots and was going through 2 pads an hour ( was a lot but i didnt want to go to hospital) .... The bleending then lighten up again and then stopped completely the next Tuesday... It was a long stretched out process but I knew the only way I could start to heal and get better was if I went natural... Of course if I HAD to have a d&C then I would have.... ( I was almost 11wks)
With my first, I started spotting on Thursday morning continued all week and weekend, clots started on the saturday night and I passed my baby mid-day on the Sunday... I was 7wks +1....
I am really sorry that you have to go through this... I hope it is no where near as long as my recent m/c ... it was and still is extremely exhausting on the body but for me definately the best choice for me....
I'm sorry you are going through a miscarriage it is such an awful thing to experience.
I had what they called a "spontaneous" miscarriage where it all happened at once. I had been spotting for 2 weeks prior but after blood tests and 2 scans all was good and then one day i bled very heavily and passed the baby right away. There was no waiting and no warning. It was very traumatic and i am still trying to deal with it.
I was going to say something similar to Sara and say to just be careful of infection keep a close eye on your temp and how you're feeling. Its one thingto loose naturally and another to put yourself at unnecessary risk.
My first mc I had spotting on and off for a week then bled heavily with terribly cramping for close to 2 weeks. My second and third mc's they were about 8 days of heavy bleeding but no real spotting.
It is a huge thing for your body to go through but if after a few more days nothing much has happened and you;re still feeling a bit blah please please go see your Dr you may just need a d&c.
