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

Guest over a year ago

This is my third pregnancy and I have had no ultrasound yet but on monday I noticed that when I wiped there was blood at that time it was very light. The next day when I wiped it was bright red but still not enough to even get on a pad. and yesterday it was still red and was dripping only when I went to the bathroom and wiped but there was some very small and minimal cramping. There has been a little cramping last night in my abdomen it would get tight and then relax. but this morning no cramps but still bleeding when I wipe and I told my ob but they didn't even tell me to come in. Am I in the process of having a miscarriage cause it sure feels like it. I also took another test and it said not pregnant.

I tested t on a home pregnacy test about 3 weeks ago. I started light bleeding almost 2 weeks ago. That lasted 3 days stoped for 2 and then started again red only when i used to restroom. I knew right away it was a misscarage and i was almost ok with it because i have 3 wounderfull boys. I went to the ob 3 days ago and was told that there was a pregnacy in my uterus but it was not a healthy pregnacy. I was to expect alo more bleeding. I at the moment am not bledding anmore than i already was. I am not craping and i do not see any blood clots. They are going to keeping up with me to make sure my body does he natrual thing and weather are not i will have to have a dnc. At this point i see mysel nedding a dnc. I did not expect for me to have to go through this so long. I beileve that if someone is bleeding during your early pregnacy that is nothing to lay around with and for your peace of mind get it seen about it right away.

I am 29 years old and healthy. I would have been 12 weeks and 4 days today. Two weeks ago I was bleeding lightly and went to the docs. The doc did a urine test and an examination and said everything was fine. They never did an ultrasound. They told me to come back in 3 weeks for an ultrasound for piece of mind...really 3 weeks?!?! The bleeding stopped that night. 6 days later I started bleeding again and this time it was much heavier, like the 1st day of your period. I went to bed crying because I already knew what was happening. I called my doc the next morning and went in and was told the news I was dreading. Apparently, the baby stopped growing weeks before. If they did an ultrasound the week before that would have been great so my husband and I could have stopped telling people I was having a baby. It has been 5 days and I still have cramping, bleeding that goes from light to heavy, extremely painful lower back pain and even had a fever. I have passed many clots. My doc did tell me it was common and she was not concerned at this point because it was my 1st miscarriage. She also said to just wait 1 period and I could start trying again. I am switching docs because I feel they should have done an ultrasound 6 days prior when I went in the 1st time for bleeding or at least a couple days later (not wait for 3 weeks). I have asked around and have been told by friends that anytime they went in for concerns that the doc did a full examination. Emotionally this is one of the worst things a women can go through. My heart goes out to all going through this and good luck in the future...xoxo

On Thursday, I went in to the clinic for a pregnancy test- after a scare when I was younger, I don't trust the home kits. The results were positive, and they immediately got me into a room for a trans-vaginal ultrasound. As I laid there, I was still trying to wrap my head around the options for this (unplanned) pregnancy. Then, it dawned on me that something was wrong. I have been in the room with friends when they had an US done, even early in the pregnancy. This was taking much longer, and the tech had fallen silent after being cheerful and chatty previously. She told me she had to bring in the LPN, who proceded to do another ultrasound. Finally, they went, got the doctor, and the doctor did an ultrasound. I had a sack, but no yolk or fetal poles- they explained that each ultrasound had included several 360 degree sweeps, and they had still found nothing. Between the measurements of the ultrasound, and a pelvic exam, they ruled out an ectopic pregnancy, and diagnosed me with a blighted ovum. I got dressed, and sat down with the LPN, who went over my options with me- she pointed out that the signs on the ultrasound and tests pointed to me being in the early stages of a miscarriage. I had three- D & C, medication, or waiting. Due to fibroids (a family trait), she recommended either medication, or the D & C. I opted for the medication, and she gave me the first tablet in the office- the one that simply blocks prog. She sent me home with four tablets to disolve in my cheeks 24 to 48 hours later, and perscriptions for vicodin and scopolimine (sp?) patches. On her recommendation, I filled the scrips immediately, and slapped on a patch. I was really grateful, because she was right- in the hour before the patch kicked in, I was so queasy it was painful.

9 pm Thursday night, I started cramping, and felt the urge to go to the bathroom. As soon as I sat down, clots just started pouring out of me. Most of them were the size of a billiard ball. After it stopped, I cleaned up, and went to lay down with vicodin, and a heating pad. Throughout the night, I passed a lot of clots- usually the bouts were about 45 minutes to an hour apart. Finally, at around 5 am, I gave up, took the higher dosage of vicodin that I was allowed, and conked out for 6 hours. When I awoke, I passed a few more clots, but they were getting smaller, and less frequent. By the time I should have taken the second medication, the process had pretty much ended. I was bleeding very lightly, and the cramps were back where tylenol was enough. I'm still not sure how I feel about the whole thing- I'm numb, combined with hormonal weird moods. I started crying at the tv show my partner had on, so I think I'm going to hold off any opinion forming until my body chemistry settles back down.

I think I just had a miscarriage, not sure, I started bleeding on Sunday, which I thought was my period, but The next day I had lower back pain, it felt like I was in labor, I was I bed for most of the day, then about 400 pm, I had a contraction and out came a pink fleshy thing with blood clots, never had anything like this happen, after the pink fleshy thing came out, my back stopped hurting and the bleeding let up sum, I went to the doctors I show him and he said he will have it tested to be sure if it was a miscarriage, so now I wait...I am bleeding brown blood now for almost 2 weeks is this normal?

Im not doing gd. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. It would have been my new husband and I our first. I got to see the baby on the ultrasound and I keep seeing him in my mind. The baby died the day before we went to the er. There was no heart beat. I was out milking our cow when it happened. There was a lot of cramping but no bleeding that day. That evening i started to bleed quite a bit. I knew what was happening. It doesnt seem to make it easier that u know cuz u have done this before. I was very emotional and in a lot of pain. Back pain mostly like all of my deliveries have been. We went to the er the next day to verify what i knew. The ultrasound showed a beautiful baby. My husband wasnt allowed to come with me. He never saw the baby. I knew there was no heart beat. I have seen to many ultrasounds to not know. The tech did her job and never told me. I am not real bright I still had hope. Hope for something I wanted and needed. Even though my head told my heart I was being a fool. Ive been bleeding since then its been four weeks now. Not bad but enough to have to wear a pad all the time just in case. I am worried i might need a d & c now because its been so long. I have never done a natural miscarriage only d & c so i dont know if this is normal. Im tired of hurting and cramping. I am grouchy and sometimes mean. I cry randomly when anything reminds me of my loss. I dont know what to do.

Hi, i too just went through my second miss. It was early this time. I bled at the end of week 4. Just for 2 days. Than brown spotting for 3 days ant it was done. Went to the doc. The urine pregnancy test was negative. I am in denial but starting to accept. Last miss i was 6 weeks along. The bleeding lasted 2 weeks or so and passed the sac. Did not have much pain, i think i was numb from the emotional pain. Good luck to all! I am sorry we have to go through this.

I am going thru the same...I suffer from PCOS and have had 1 miscarriage 2 years ago which was very painful and emotional. This time I started to bleed on wed very lightly and then on the sun the cramps began for several hours I just thought I was having a painful period since I it was the 1st time I have had one in 5 months which to me is normal...anyway a few clots came away and the pain got worse so I phoned Nhs24 and went to see the doctor he done a pregnancy test which came up positive much to my shock!!! He told me that the volume of blood I was losing wasn't a good sign and if It continued over the next hour then I would have to be admitted...I went home and the pain continued as well as the bleeding but not as heavy...I am due for a scan in the next few days to check that everything has gone from inside me....I really don't know how am feeling as I'm jus out of a 2 1/2 yr relationship and is all so fresh my head is all over the place...the pain is still there and also at times bleeding but I don't know how long this will last as its so diffent from the last time. I think it can be by different each time And don't think it's a good idea going on what has happened to other people as this is hugely different from the last time however the emotional distress is the same...good luck to all xxx

I'm 26 and I bleed for two months give or take, about a month or two ago, some days were light and others were heavy, I tried not to think about it and pretend my body was just pushing out the last of my birth control. I noticed that golf ball chunks and tissue like fluid came out and I knew with the cramping it wasn't normal considering I have been through this at least two other times. I took plenty of pregnancy tests and they all said no, although I may have taken them to late since I'm certain this wasn't the first miscarriage I've had, which usually take place as soon as conception occurs, generally within the first two weeks give or take. I have endometriosis, and a tipped uterus, as well as three laparoscopies for endometriosis when I was 13, and 14yrs, I might have been older for my last one, maybe 16yrs I can't remember. The Doctor said there was little or no endometriosis or scar tissue, and no cysts, I was as healthy as I could be. I had an abortion when I was twenty and I didn't know I was pregnant since I was on birth control continuously, no breaks, I wasn't allowed to have periods for thirteen years! LONG TIME right, I got pregnant while I was on birth control and I didn't find out until I was at least three or more months pregnant, I had to go to Long Beach just to have the procedure done which they said nothing of what they were going to do to me or my unborn child, I've been in hell even since. It's taken me six years to over come my guilt and come to terms with one of the biggest, cruelest, most wicked things that i ever could have done. I am now just reaching the end of my morning for the child I disgracefully killed, but with this last miscarriage I'm finding myself re-living and punishing myself all over again, I cried and whaled yesterday over what I did and cannot undo. I went to the doctor on Monday to make sure I wasn't pregnant and get a health check up making sure there wasn't anything else going on with my body. The odd thing is, my breasts and nipples are still sore and sensitive, although it's nothing compared to what it was, I couldn't even stand my cloths touching them inn any way, I couldn't even stand it when the wind blew and brushed across them. Now my breasts are funny, the very center of my nipple has an indentation like a little line or something, so I saw my friend yesterday and she just had a baby two or three months ago and i asked her if she had the same thing going on with her breasts. So i showed her and as I did I must has squeezed hard enough on the center and clear fluid came out along with milky white fluids, which are still coming out if I squeeze them, but the doctor say I'm not pregnant and now I'm waiting for some blood tests to go through. I made him test me for pregnancy as well as whatever else he's looking for that might cause this to happen, and the doctor said I don't drink enough caffeine to cause breast fluid, that oddly enough looks just like my friends who has a gorgeous three month old girl and four year old boy. When I saw we had the same fluid I flipped and I was overjoyed, ecstatic, and just beside myself with overwhelming joy mixed with hope that just maybe I really was with child and the thought of having life inside me made me cry tears of pure joy. I went straight to the doctors and all my dreams and hopes were shattered and quickly turned into sorrow's, unbearable familiar utter hopelessness to which there is no escape. Now he's testing me for thyroid, breast cancer, hormonal imbalances, and some other stuff. I made him do an HCG screening test as well to make sure I'm not pregnant, so I can end some of my suffering, and hopefully alleviate some of the stress, I want that test to come back positive more than anything. I am devastated, and full of regret, I should have a child with me right now, and the absence of it haunts me, I still can't believe I could have done such a disgraceful thing like that, how could I have done that to something so innocent and pure, my heart ways heavy with to much guilt, disgust, and disappointment. I wish my body would go back to normal so that i might find some peace and closure, why is my body doing this to me, hopefully it will stop in a day or two and maybe then I'll sleep? I'm finally a year and almost two months off birth control and for the first time in my life I have no pain what so ever during menstruation, it's a true miracle, and one the greatest gifts the LORD has ever given to me, I just want to live a normal life and I thank Jesus everyday for giving me life and allowing me to continue to live and grow as a person as I keep moving forward. I pray with all my heart and soul that i will bear a healthy child and let go of the past so i can live in the present as a mother. I am truly grateful that I have the LORD to help me bear the weight of all my sorrows, to give me the strength to bear it all, my short comings as well as my regrets. I would love nothing more than to bear a child if God sees fit, and I am truly grateful that he has been right here by my side through the good and the bad, and I'm honored just to know he loves me so much so that he allows me to wake up every day and provides me with exactly what I need. Please don't think I'm a BIBLE THUMPER or anything like that, I'm just very familiar with my Father and very close, I'm just not the type to push my religion on others or put them down for their beliefs. I love everyone no matter who or what they are, we are all beautiful and I'm glad I have opened eyes to notice the beauty all around me, and in every ounce of my being as well as everyone else no matter who or what they are. If anyone has read all the way through this please pray for me, my name is Emily and I am hurting really bad right now, and slowly driving myself insane over something I had and let go. Now I fear I'll never get the chance again to prove I can do it and I just want to move on with my life, I hope and pray for the best for everyone who had the courage to write and share their personal issues. You all have been an inspiration for me, and I don't feel so alone anymore, maybe next time I write on here I'll be with child, only GOD knows, I think I'll leave it up to him and stop pretending I have any say in the matter of life and death, as well as life itself. Thank You for your time.

this messages have given me some understanding of what is happening to me....I was just about a week late on my period when I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I am 32 and have not had a child in more than 10 years. After finding out I was pregnant I was ecstatic. But before I even got the chance to set up an appointment with a doctor, I began heavy cramping and it appeared I had gotten my period. I thought that my test was incorrect although I have never ever been irregular. Its been about 9 days now and I have not stopped bleeding and spotting. There are days that I think its all over and I had a miscarriage and then the next morning I awake with dark spotting. Have I miscarriaged or am I still miscarrying?
