A miscarriage can take place at any time during a pregnancy. Miscarriages are most common during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (the first trimester). A woman may have to have a D and C after miscarrying. The later in the pregnancy a miscarriage occurs, the more complications could arise.

Im 9 weeks with severe cramping and clots with tissue like material sonograhm showed partial miscairrage how long will the pain and bleeding and bloating continue?

If it has not been determined that your miscarriage has already begun then it could be anywhere from 4-6weeks before the miscarriage begins. Usually once you start to bleed and pass tissue its only around 2 weeks from that point before a first trimester miscarriage is complete. From what you have described it sounds like you've already begun the actual miscarriage process. So take heart, it will be over soon. I'm sorry for your loss.
