Quote From: fairladyzYou are right I didn't see a Dr. It all happened so fast my head is still spinning. What had happened was I got pregnant right after my period so it was a long time to wait until my next one.I took the test on the 12th and my period came the 14th,it was a couple of days early, I should have came the 18th or 19th and this was the first time I had ever had cramps. There was alot of blood, more then usual. And all the strange tissue like stuff in the toilet scared me. I looked it up on the Internet and it descried exactly what I saw and felt. One of my friends has had 2 miscarriages and I told her what I saw and everything that happened. She told me that it sounded like what had happened to her. I would have went to the Dr but I don't have one yet, I just moved here.I will find one soon and get a check up. Do I need to go to a special Dr. or is a family Dr. fine? It has been a little over 3 weeks can the Dr. still tell?
I would go see an OBGYN as soon as possible. There are lots of reasons for going to see your doctor after a miscarriage. Typically, a physician will check to make sure that the miscarriage is complete and that the uterus is clear. This is important to prevent infection. Your doctor can help you with your healthcare by analyzing your medical history, nutritional status, and check your present state of health. Your doctor can also help you by making certain that you are physically healed and ready to try to conceive again. He or she may well want to have you on prenatal vitamins before you conceive again. You may need various laboratory tests done. I recommend that you find a doctor who suits you as soon as possible. I think it will help you to have a solid source for information that is specific about you. These support groups are very helpful in lots of ways but none of us are your doctor who knows you, your body, and your history.
I believe you are in Missouri. If you do not have health insurance, there are free and low-cost clinics available. Here's a few sites:

Take care of yourself and I'm thinking about you.
