Yes, it can take time. You will know it is complete when bleeding stops, pretty much. IN the meanwhile, watch for excessive bleeding, foul (and I mean FOUL) odor and high temp. I have had five losses. Some I had a D&C, some were 'natural'. One I ended up with a uterine infection, the others I did not. Much also has to do with your emotional state. (As well as how far along you are when fetal demise occurs. The earlier, the more likely all will happen successfully naturally) WIth the last I opted for a D&C the day after we found out as I had in my mind the infection I had previously had as well as frankly not being able to find the strength within me to wait. Everyone is different and we may chose different courses of action at differnt times. Stay in close contact with your doctor, and I am so sorry. This is never easy.
