miscarriage

I lost my baby at 5 weeks but I don't know what to do next. Should I go to the doctor or hospital to get cleaned out completely. Its torture sitting in the house like this. What should I do?

I had a miscarriage in feburary naturally at 8 weeks. I didn't need to get flushed out either. They may check your levels til they hit 0 bc if they don't you may have tissue left and then may need a d&c. Mine took 9 weeks to go to 0 unfortantely, hopefully that's not the case for you! Good luck hun and sorry for your loss

I had a miscarriage about 18 months ago at about 4-5 weeks usually that early you don't need any extra help your body flushes itself naturally. I know how devastating this can be, I'm so sorry. Take some time to mourn.

I'm sorry for your loss hun, can't imagine what you're going thru. You should go in at least to get checked to make sure there's no infection or any other problems and the doctor can tell you then what will be the best next step for you to take. Good luck and keep your head up!
