A member asked:

Quickly: You just need to wait 1 month. That is so the uterine can shed its lining once. There is no known benefit to waiting any longer than that!

I had a blighted ovum, discovered at my first scan at 12 weeks. I decided to allow the miscarriage to happen naturally. I am now on day 10 of bleeding, is it ok to wait longer or do I need the meds or D&C? Not sure how long it takes for an infection.
