10 weeks, fetus 10 weeks but no heartbeat

I went for my first u/s when I was 10 weeks & 5 days. The midwife verified the size & development of fetus also 10 weeks & 5 days, however we could not trace a heartbeat. Also had a transvaginal u/s with the same result. This means that the fetus died that day or night previously. This is all too much for me to comprehend. The gyno confirmed diagnosis. Since 3 days I no longer feel pregnant & am now waiting to miscarry. I am overwhelmed with emotions & tried to continue working, however could not so therefore I am at home with my daugther (2 y/o) How long will it take to Miscarry? I want to let nature take its course, however I have an appt at the gyno on Thurs (2 weeks after no hb traced) to discuss D&C etc. Has anyone been in the same situation????

I do beleive in miracles like you.im in the same situation at 9 weeks there was no heartbeat i had 2u/s and 2 transvaginals on the same day and they couldnt find the heartbeat.Dr told me I had 3 choices to hane a dc or to take a pill or let nature take its course me and my husband told her that God had the last word next week I have another ultrasound.if i get the same answer I might just have to change doctors.one of my friend had the same situation but in her case they gave her the pill they didnt tell her what it was for until she asked them.they told her that it was to flush the baby out she told them wait a minute im not taking this she got a second opinion the baby was fine now the baby is healthy and 7 months old

I went for my ultra sound scan today as 12 wks. Unfortunately it wasn't good news, my baby is the size of a 6 wk baby! There is no mix up with dates etc... I've not miscarried, just had the odd brown discharge which is meant to be normal. Everything seemed to be fine and was matching to the book. Feel very sad, confused and angry. I've been given another scan in a weeks time to see if any growth, if so, I still know it's bad news. Has anyone else experience this?!
