How long does miscarrying take? My body feels so pregnant and is beginning to look it (for what would be a 4th pregnancy) and I haven’t begun to bleed. My first miscarriage was very painful and I bled a lot.
My tests are still faint so I guess the symptoms will end when the tests go blank. But does anyone know how and/or when it’s determined to be a missed miscarriage? I would prefer my body to handle it on its own, I’m just asking because I don’t know at what point it becomes a risk to my body.
I want to ask for an ultrasound but I know that must sound crazy.

@HalfricanMa that doesn’t sound crazy at all. I’d do the same. Something is obviously going on and you deserve clarity and answers. Sending prayers

@HalfricanMa That’s not silly at all! It could be something else causing faint hcg like a cyst.

I had 3 m/cs at 5 weeks. Tests didn't get darker and it was just a dreaded waiting game. But I did bleed very heavily with cramping when the body finally realised that the pregnancy isn't viable.

But for the missed miscarriage at 15/16 weeks, my baby had passed at 12/13 weeks but the body didn't realise. I had to go to the hospital and get proper help before my body expelled the fetus. I wish I had proper answers for you, but the best is if you go to your doctor and ask what's the best way forward.

Thanks for your response. It’s so confusing for me because i’d be at least 7 weeks right now. But without any period or known ovulation date, I really don’t know.
My body still feels pregnant with a baby we prayed for, so I almost feel compelled to “walk by faith and not by sight” until I feel it was a loss. I’m still very depressed by it but trying to treat myself kindly.
I’ll call for an appointment with the doc specific about this.

@HalfricanMa I feel so horribly for you that you're just stuck in this limbo. I would reach back out to the doctor and ask them for further investigation, either the hormone blood panel or an ultrasound, or both. explain you're still getting faint positives are are symptomatic. Maybe they can give you something earlier to induce your period and see if that kind of resets things. Either way you shouldn't be stuck sitting there while feeling overall unwell with symptoms and just the mental aspect of not knowing what's going on.
