The doctors gave me a scan and an internal to ensure all of the sac had come away naturally and that a D&C didnt need to be performed and sent me home. 2 weeks later i got the results of the tests the hospital did on the remains and it stated that i had a 'blighted ovum' a pregnancy that naturally terminates itself due to complications. the doctor said this most probably was the cause of the depo. my advice for you is to go and get checked out right away as any remaining tissue could rot and cause serious illness to yourself.
