I would definitely request another ultrasound to confirm whether or not the pregnancy is really over. I completely understand you not wanting to drag this out and would suggest that you ask for a D&C rather than be expected to wait a month or more for things to happen naturally. An alternative is a pill that you can take to bring the miscarriage on. Ask the Dr what options are available to you so that you can make the best decision for yourself.
I would do the D&C if there is no hearbeat. I am very very sorry. I have lost 3 but my body did not even start bleeding on it's own when I MC. If you have the D&C it also allow you to test the tissue if any cells are still alive. You might get some answers from this. Sending you hugs.
Hey
I hope this gives you some insight. I miscarried at 14 weeks on the 13 April. The report came back that my son had stopped growing between 10 and 11 weeks. That meant I carried him for about 3 extra weeks. I spotted Monday morning and he came out Tuesday night. I guess it was pretty quick and I just had a sore back no cramping what so ever. I am still waiting for my period and it has been 34 days since miscarriage. I guess it does take awhile for you body to first recognise and then for it to get back to normal. Do what is best for you!!!
You should request another ultrasound to confirm everything so you can see yourself that helped me cope a lot and if the baby has passed away you should go for the d&c I just had one Wednesday and it is painless with a pretty quick recovery depending on your body. I hope all is well and that your baby is okay I am sorry you are going thru this I know it is hard but please try to relax you are in my prayers
