If you've miscarried naturally and nothing is left then there is no need to have a D&C done. These are normally only done if part of the tissue has remained or if you cannot miscarry naturally. Your doctor can do a check to make sure if you have passed everything and will tell you what to do from there.

The only way to know if you've passed everything is an ultrasound.  I highly doubt after 1 day of bleeding that everything has come out as I myself have had 5 miscarriages & the shortest one lasted 6 ddays BUT every person is different.

A D&C is offered to women miscarrying to ensure that everything is removed because if something is left behind it can cause serious infections in the mom which can lead to infertility & other serious health issues.

I suggest asking for an ultrasound to make sure everything has passed naturally ^ if not then having a D&C done.

Good luck & keep us updates
