Thank you everyone. I appreciate all the prayers and support.

Oh Emily.
I am so sorry. I had hoped that somehow the doctor would be wrong.
May Jesus hold your little one in His arms..and may you feel His love in an extra special way over the coming months.

Thank you everyone. I'm sorry to ask these questions here, but there doesn't seem to be an active miscarriage support thread.
Does anyone know how long I should bleed? I really only had one period of heavy bleeding last night (just long enough to pass a bunch of stuff). But it slowed pretty quickly and now all I have is some brown spotting. I'm just worried I'm not going to pass everything on my own. . .I seem to remember the doctor saying it would be about like a regular period only a little heavier. Should I be worried? I'm still cramping pretty badly.

I know for mine, I bled for about 3 days or so really heavy, and then spotted to light flow for another 3 or 4 days. The cramping lasted almost a whole week. I was 9 weeks along, so I don't know if that makes a difference as to how long I bled, but I didn't need a D&C, so its possible you might not need one either. I'm so sorry for your loss, and feel free to PM me if you need to chat. ((((Hugs))))

Emily, if you're not sure what to look for, I'd suggest contacting your doctor/midwife. They should give you a list of criteria to look for. From what I understand, very heavy bleeding (ie soaking through a pad per hour) or fever are the biggest concerns, but my m/c was different since I had an induction/D&C, so I'm sure my rules were different than yours would be.
My midwife's rule of thumb was that other than the heavy bleeding (which can indicate hemorrhaging) and fever, most of the other signs you'll encounter are just what your body needs to do to heal. Eg the last of my bleeding was actually a large blood clot (about the size of my palm) after 2-3 days with little bleeding, but it came out all at once since I was singing for the first time; I figured the pressure from the diaphragm moved things along. I had no red bleeding after that and immediately felt better. My midwife told me it's not uncommon for the blood to pool at the mouth of the cervix and then come out all at once as a clot; the thing to watch out for is fever.
Keep in mind that if your get sent for a D&C it might mean you have to wait longer to try again, depending on the circumstances. I wound up having two D&Cs and I'm pretty sure the second was not medically necessary, but because they weren't clear when giving me the rules at the hospital I wound up having the second. Also, a u/s is not very good at determining for sure whether you've got any tissue remaining.
WOF, I've learned the hard way on airplanes that you should never stretch your quads first. Always start with your hamstrings. And I wasn't even pg at the time.
