How long does the actual miscarriage last, a day? a week?

I was 10 to 12 weeks. I didn't know I was pregnant. I m/c 3 weeks ago. I'm now having brown blood come out and sever pain n my right lower side of my back near my hip. Is this common?

This post so closely describes my experience I feel like I wrote it. And I am currently still living it. I am so ready for it to just be over.

I am going through one right now and it is the hardest thing for me to handle it is hitting me really hard I am 40 and I am 7 weeks pregnant was told last week during my sonogram that the baby was not attached to my sack and it hit me real hard I have been bleeding ever since sone time a lot and them other times I don't bleed at all I just don't know how to take it I go to the doctor every other day for blood work and I go back Monday to find out my hcg level all I can say is God bless you all and everybody is in my prayers I would never want another woman to go through what I am going through and what all of you woman have been through

I am going through a natural miscarriage now. I went in for an ultrasound at 5w6d and to see if the pregnancy was ectopic and they found the pregnancy in the right place, but said it was measuring small. I went in exactly a week later for a ultrasound at 6w6d and there was no growth. I was told I would miscarry within a few days. I was told the embryo was consistent with 4w6d.

A week and a day later, at 7w6d ( a couple of days ago) I felt extremely ice cold. I had to turn the heat on, and sleep with a sweater on.

The next day, at 8w0d exactly, I felt dizzy and faint while taking a shower. A little later, I wiped an noticed a clotted smear. About an hour later, I noticed dark brown, almost black blood.


I'm currently on the second day of the miscarriage. So far, the bleeding hasn't been extraordinary, although I have passed small clots. Also, the blood is stringy and not very liquid-y. Didn't really cramp much yesterday, although I noticed that they are getting stronger, (liked a typical period).

Thank you for your post. This has been the most realistic and comforting post I've read yet!
