When should you have rhogam after a miscarriage?

I am O neg bloodtype and I tried telling my GYn this and they didn't do a thing. I switched to a different doctor and had to have a d&c. I miscarried on March 1 and my d&c was the 30th and I just had the shot. He said within 72 hours. I am scared now that I won't be able to have children. I have to go in for a f/u appt in 2 weeks and he said he should be able to tell if I built up antibodies by then. I was only 3 weeks along when I had spotting.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can understand your fears about not having the rhogam shot. If you were only 3 weeks along, it is unlikely that you built up the antibodies. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you and that helps some.

I found out I was pregnant on March 1, but I was also spotting. I bled everyday until I had my D&C which was the 30th. Then they gave me Rhogam when I came out of surgery. Have you had children since then?

Hi-- I am sorry for you loss.  I am B negative and had my second miscarriage on Wednesday.  I also had bleeding with my pregnancies and had to get rhogam throughout the pregnancies.

From what I was able to find on the internet, it is very unlikely to get "sensitized" and develop antibodies with a miscarriage.  That being said, you can have them analyze your blood to double check if you are worried.

They are checking my blood so I will find out next week, but I am super anxious. Thank you that does make me feel better though. I am so sorry for your loss as well.
