I am 35 and I went to my Dr last tue after bleeding for 2 weeks and was positive on a preg test.(which was a miracle and made me very happy because I didnt think that could happen at all) Then he gave me an ultrasound and said I had either already passed the baby or it was just to early for him to see anything on my ultrasound.So just to be safe he scheduled me for next tue for my 2nd ultrasound before we went ahead with a d&c. My bleeding had lightened a bit until last night(fri) I passed a really big 1/2 dollar size horror movie looking blood clot and started having cramps.Today the same thing this morning and cramps were ridiculous most of the day but now this evening I am feeling better and my stomach is not so tight. I was just wondering how long the actual miscarriage lasted. Thanks to anyone who gives me some info.

When I was around 7 weeks along I started spotting early one morning. I had cramps throughout my whole pregnancy so that wasn't any different for me. I went to the doctor and had blood tests done and was scheduled to go back in two days later for more tests. At that point it was too early to tell if I was miscarrying or not. Later on that night I had very heavy bleeding and cramping with a few small clots passed. The next day my bleeding returned to being very light with very few cramps. I went in to my scheduled appointment and found out that I had, in fact, miscarried. It has been about a week and I still have very light brown spotting. I think it varies from person to person as far as how long the miscarriage lasts.

I was 8 wks pregnant. Had a scan the day after I started light bleeding and the doctor found no heartbeat. I was devastated. The bleeding started heavily 2 days after that. I had contractions and what felt like labour pains for 3 hours. It was excruciatingly painful. No painkillers could dull the pain and at times I groaned it hurt so bad. A contraction would last from 30 seconds to a minute. I had about 10 of them then the cramps lessened in intensity. I'm on day 4 of bleeding and am expecting more. I'm not sure if I've passed the baby or not. If I don't I have to have a d&c which I'm not happy about.

This is an emotionally and physically draining process. I've been in bed most of the week.

I know how you all feel. I am just going through a misscarage again. This is my second!! I start spotting around 6 weeks then start bleeding about 7 weeks, prity much the same days as before.

Just to let you all know that I have a beautiful boy of 2 years. i actually concieved him straight after the last misscarage and didnt see another period. The doc did tell me to have a period but it happened so soon.

One postitive thing is you do get pregnant very quickly afterwards and Im sure like me its best to have a healthy baby and your body do the natual thing, if there is something wrong with the misc baby.

The last misc lasted about 2 weeks so Im sure this will be the same. Then (as my husband puts it) we will get back on the case!

Good luck to you all, there will be a positive outcome in the end PROMISE!!
