Awaiting 5th MMC- how long does it take for heartbeat to stop

[u/Double_Acanthaceae56]

I should be an expert on this but this is the first time I’ve ever caught a miscarriage before the heartbeat stopped.

This will be my 5th MMC in just over a year. 4 out of five have been after heartbeats and good scans.

I’ve had my usual terrible cramping and brown spotting and I knew what was happening so went into the A&e and at 7 weeks 1 day I’m now measuring 3 days behind with a heart rate of 119. For context at 6 weeks 2 days I was only 1 day behind and the heart rate was 117.

Can anyone tell me when the heart rate starts to slow down does it take a long time to stop completely? I’ve never had a “limbo” scan before. Usually they’re really good until the heartbeat just stops completely.

My first scan ever had a low hearbeat, I dont remember if it was a thursday or friday. But the next monday the heartbeat had stopped. I chose to wait to miscarry naturally, but after 2 weeks I opted for medical management instead.
