Could they be wrong

in Trying to Get Pregnant
i know this is highly unlikely and I'm not going to get my hopes up at 9 weeks I was told my baby didn't have a heartbeat and that it had stopped growing at 6 weeks had to have an early scan due to bleeding etc they never saw a heartbeat through my scans then on my 9th week I was told I had a failed pregnancy it's now been 2 weeks and I've had bleeding but nothing major and tests are still saying pregnant. We decided to let the miscarriage happen naturally just wonder what should I be looking for how will I feel? When will it start? So confused

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I also asked for a second ultrasound to confirm and asked my doctor if she was really sure. I waited a week or two and had a d&c. It felt good to have it over with. You can expect your tests to remain positive, even after the baby has stopped growing and even after a d&c. It doesn't mean that your pregnancy is still viable. Sorry.

    A D& C is dilation and curettage, meaning they go I'm and remove your baby, they call the 'products of conception'.
    also, your Dr will called this a 'missed abortion '. Meaning you had a miscarriage but tour body held on to the baby.

    I have never had a miscarriage, however I have been present at many.
    I am sorry for your loss.
    Thank God for Raid.

    I don't know. You could discuss with your doctor. I opted for the d&c because waiting was just too hard. Also, with a d&c they are able to order genetic testing, which they can't do otherwise. They found out that our baby had a chromosomal abnormality that happens at random and is incompatible with life. It made me feel better to know what happened.

    Not sure when it'll start...
    My timeline: I was almost 12 weeks and the heartbeat stopped at 9. On a Friday night, I had light cramps. The next day I had very minimal dark red spotting... Same the next day. Sunday night I began to miscarry. I lost so much blood, I passed out and went to the ER. It was very traumatic.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Hang in there. You can do it... The waiting is terrible.

    Most women with who experience an miscarriage have cramps and lots of bleeding with some tissue seen.

    Again, I am sorry you are going through this. 
    Thank God for Raid.

    I can tell you my experience with my mc, but I know they can vary. Day 1 (1 day after my BFP, 1 week after AF was due, estimate I was 5 weeks + 2) I had some pink/bright red spotting, it stopped very soon after started. No cramping, but I was EXHAUSTED. Day 2- mild discomfort, felt more like a burning sensation in my uterus (didn't feel like normal cramps, it was super weird), felt super gassy and the need to have a BM, more bright red spotting that would come and go. By 4:30 on day 2 I decided we needed to go to the ER. Finally got to see a doc, they said cervix was closed but my HCG was only at a 3, and they diagnosed me as 'threatened abortion' (horrible doc speak for miscarriage). Went home (after 7 HOURS at the ER), and felt the strong urge to have a BM. Went to the restroom, felt a pinching sensation and saw that I had passed the embryo. Days 3-4 Some mild cramping, passing tissue, 'stringy' blood, flow was like my normal period (I'm NOT a heavy bleeder, and if I regularly used pads I probably would have used fewer, but I got uncomfortable super fast). I was done bleeding by the morning of Day 5.

    Hope that helps!!
