Beverly I think you need to follow up with your OB. You should be about 7 weeks by now, and surely a transvaginal ultrasound would be helpful to determine if this was or was not a miscarriage. It sounds to me that you have not passed enough tissue or bled enough to call this a miscarriage, but I would defer a final answer on this until you had an ultrasound +/- more hormanal evaluation. Good Luck.
