Natural miscarriage

I'm having trouble getting advice on this even from medical professionals, so I thought I'd post on here.

I got my first ultrasound at about 11 weeks. In the days leading up to the ultrasound, it became increasingly clear I was going to miscarry. At the US they saw a 6 week fetus. A day later, I passed it - extremely painful, took about 2 hours. The major stuff was over but the bleeding continued into the next day and slowly began to subside. I got a follow up ultrasound about 10 days after this, and they found some debris remaining in my uterus. At this point, since I was still spotting and have largely passed it, I'd prefer not to have medical intervention.

The doctor at the US said it wasn't her area of experrise but said I would probably need to take a pill or get a D&C because of risks of sepsis etc, but to ask my doctor oe midwife. My midwife also seemed a bit uncomfortable interpreting the ultrasound images but since I was feeling fine and said I didn't want intervention unless it was urgent, recommended a follow up ultrasound and she is referring me to an OB to interpret what they saw. I have a follow up ultrasound scheduled for next week, 2.5 weeks since my first US/the actual miscarriage and 1 week since the second one where they saw the debris. 

I guess I'm trying to figure out if I'm in any danger or if I can keep waiting this out. A lot of time has passed since baby died - about 13 weeks- but less than 2 weeks since the miscarriage happened. REALLY hard to find information about this since most people seem to get intervention. Any advice or thoughts are much appreciated!

Sorry, edit. About 6-7 weeks has passed since baby died... I would have been 13 weeks and they saw a 6 week fetus on the US.

(and 2 weeks of so since the actual event of passing the fetus)

You should get HCG betas drawn to ensure the number returns to 0.  Until they you are still considered 'pregnant' and tissue could remain.  Depending on your situation, it can take months for it to return to 0.  Also, your doctor should ensure your ultrasound shows no remaining fetal tissue.  If so, it could impact future possible pregnancies.  
I am sorry for your loss.
