How long does it take to naturally bleed out after a missed miscarriage

Question

In my first ultrasound at 7 weeks, there was no heartbeat found, however since the yolk sac was very strong the doc wanted to give the benefit of doubt.. 2 weeks later in the 2nd ultrasound the fetus had grown slightly but again no heartbeat.. due to this growth in the 2 weeks i have been called in for a 3rd ultrasound and the doc refuses to call it a missed miscarriage.. im fed up of these disappointing hospital visits..  how long does it take to naturally bleed out in a missed miscarriage??#adviceplease

Hello, strongly advise that you to seek for second opinion since this gynae is unable to give you a concise answer. As for my personal experience with miscarriage, it took about 4 days after the gynae confirmed it was a missed miscarriage but based on when the fetus has stopped growing to the day I started bleeding out was about 2 weeks. However, do bare in mind that there are cases where the fetus do not pass out by itself and require medical abortion.
