since your only measuring at 4 wks it shouldnt take to long once your levels actually start to drop, your body may even start to reabsorb the ovum and you just may have abit of a heavier period, this is what happened to me and I only passed the smallest of clots with my period, Imeasured at 5 wk 2 days, it took about 1 1/2 weeks once my levels started to drop, I ovulated 6 days after my bleeding stopped

It really depends. You could start to miscarry naturally, but it seems like you may have had a missed miscarriage. In which case, you will most likely end up with the pill or a d&c. You'll just have to see what your levels are doing. Most OB's won't let you go beyond two weeks after they've confirmed a missed miscarriage before they recommend medical intervention. It's anyone's guess as to how long it's going to take.

((hugs))

I had a similiar situation to this occur to me in April/May. Levels did not rise and after several U/S it was clear there was no development. I elected for a D&C because I was getting as far as 10 weeks or so along and my body showed no signs of anything occuring. Also I show early and I was starting to get a belly and didnt want to deal with waiting longer. My procedure was very quick, and I was in recorvery for about an hour and then went home. I felt tired that day and pretty much sat around and napped but next day I felt fine physically except that I was still bleeding. I did what the Dr. asked and did not start trying to get pregnant again until I had a period. After I got a period we started trying again and it only took me two cycles and I am now 23 weeks. You obviously have to do what you feel comfortable with but I figured I would share my experience.
