Expectant management - how long did it take for your MC to start?

We found out there was no heartbeat on Wednesday (so 3 days ago) and I was 9 weeks along. I decided to wait and see if nature takes over but I’ve since read more online and I’m now panicking it will take weeks. How long did it take for yours to start?!

So sorry for your loss. It took two weeks here, it was triplets though so I’m not sure if that makes a difference. Started with slight light pink and light cramps and then got worse. The worst of it was over about three days in the middle. Everyone is different though. I was told if I fill more than two pads an hour then to call the early pregnancy unit. Xx

Sorry you’re going through this too. I found out on the 25th Aug at a private scan. (I got pregnant straight from coming off the pill so my dates may not be accurate) but I was roughly 10 weeks and baby was 6.5 weeks for size. I’m not sure if my body hasn’t realised for weeks from 6.5-10 but since that scan I started spotting/light bleeding 4 days later for 5 days then had 2 days of nothing then cramping and medium bleeding. My hospital has said after 2 weeks of trying to let my body do it I have another scan to see how much has progressed then I may have to take the tablet if it’s not enough x

@Jamie Wow I’m so sorry for your loss of triplets, that must have been so hard. But thanks for sharing your experience. Xx

@Jacelyn I’m so sorry you are going through this and sorry for your loss. Yeah a few of my friends said they started bleeding a few days after the scan but it’s already been a few days for me and I’ve had nothing. Just a few minor cramps which may be anxiety

I had a loss in 22. I lost them at 9 weeks, found out at what would have been 12 weeks and didn’t loose them until after what would have been 15 weeks… it was hard…
