how long to miscarriage?

So I should have been 6 weeks 4 days today.  I went for an ultrasound yesterday after my betas were not doubling.  We saw a sac but they could not find a fetal pole so the dr. told me I was going to have a miscarriage.  When will this happen??  They say it looks like growth stopped at week 4.

    Everyone is different.  I didn't miscarry at all.  That's why I needed a D&C.   Some women might take a really long time to miscarry naturally.  Talk to your doctor about your options.

    BFP#1: 7/14/10.  EDD: 3/19/11--MMC-- D&C 9/2/10.
    BFP#2: 12:22/10.EDD: 8/30/11 C/P 12/25/10
    BFP#3: 10/26/11 EDD: 7/2/12-- Daniel born 7/14/12.

    My dr. wants me to try and miscarry on my own first before we discuss d&c.....he is dragging this out and now I have to go back Tuesday for ultrasound and bloodwork to see if I am miscarrying on my own....this is just emotionally draining and dragging it out on me.......

    You dont' have to go through the agony of waiting.....if your doctor won't at least give you the option of a d&c, then find someone who will. I had a d&c this morning due to a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks. I was 12 weeks this past sunday, and was told that it was not uncommon to have to wait up to 8 weeks to miscarry. He gave me the option of waiting it out, or having the d&c. At least this way it will be easier to move on. I am so sorry for your loss, and truly wish you all the best.

    I was 11 weeks 3 days when I started bleeding.  When they did an ultrasound the baby had no heartbeat and measured 9 weeks 1 day.  So the heart stopped beating about 2 weeks before I started bleeding.  Luckily, the next day I naturally miscarried.  I was scheduled for a D&C this morning but cancelled because I don't think I need it.  I agree with a PP that if your doctor won't do the D&C soon and you want it done, find another doctor.  I can't imagine going back to work waiting to miscarry.  Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

    I've been trying to wait it out naturally too and it is starting to really wear me down after 3 weeks of bleeding off and on.  If you feel like you can't take it anymore I would definitely push your Dr. to do something, or find another Dr. that will.  I know that's easier said than done, especially at a time like this, but your mental well-being is just as important as your physical health.
