HELP understanding report after miscarriage

[Sunflower05]

I recently miscarried at 12 weeks, after a normal ultrasound at 9 weeks.  I had a D&C after an ultrasound confirmed that the dead baby was still inside.  The pathology report states "container is a 20 gm, 4.4 x4 x 1.5 cm of aggregate of pink tissue fragments admixed with chorionic villi.  NO FETAL TISSUE nor cystic structures are present".  I then proceeded to heavily bleed lots of tissue for two weeks.  Is this normal?  Was the baby missed during surgery?  My OB won't discuss anything further than "your placenta was probably okay" . . . Does anyone know how to interpret these reports??

Thanks . . . I know I need to put all those papers in an envelope and move on.  Rationally . . . emotionally, however, I seem a litle stuck, still . .. and my heart is frantically looking for an answer (that it never will get).

Thanks for your advice.  :)

I'm not sure how to read the reports but I had bleeding for aobut 6 weeks after my D&C..they say your cycle can be really crazy after.  I even went for a 2nd opinion because at 6weeks I have major clotting ( i thought tissue was left behind my HCG levels were not down yet) this DR also said the same thing but may have beencovering for a DR he knew????

I would try to not dwell on it tooo much so that you can get on with the healing process. Good luck and I am very sorry for your loss
