I am 8 weeks pregnant and started bleeding. I have had two ultrasounds and both have indicated the fetus is miscarrying. There is no heartbeat and the fetus is no longer viable. But the miscarriage has stopped and I don't want a D&C. I want to know if I can help the miscarriage along naturally - without medical intervention.

Too dangerous, you need a d and c whether you want one or not.
You don't want an infection or anything like that from left over material in there. Please, just do it.
Sorry for your loss

I am very sorry that the foetus is not viable..You say that you do not want a D and C.I can understand the distress that it must be causing.If you do not have the D/C several things may happen
you continue to bleed-it may get very heavy
it may naturally expel itself-can not say when May being the operative word
you may have an incomplete miscarriage
In all the above there is a definite risk of infection .this is a concern-the retained products(sorry to be blunt) can be an area very prone to infection. this would increase bleeding and possibly affect future fertility.
Although hard D/C is the best least risky option for your present and future health
There are NO recommended safe ways of self inducing

You need to see your doctor. There are too many medical coomplications that can happen if try to induce it on your own. I'm sorry for your loss.

this is not to be taken as medical advise
black cohosh and evening primrose oil both can help to induce uterine contractions and spontanious miscarraige
