Dawn-I've been reading your posts and you do have a legitimate problem.
I miscarried in Dec, but had what was called a "missed abortion"-baby
died, and I did NOT expel it naturally. I had a d&c. I would have
eventually expelled it, but it would not have been as "neat" - I was 13
weeks, so my doc thought it was better to do the d&c. As for your
situation, your cramping probably has to do with your possible m/c. You
need to go to another dr. It's just ridiculous what you've been
through. It's so sad to be wanting to be pregnant and not get any
answers. FIND ANTOHER DR!! Show him your ER documents and request
another u/s. You need one to make sure you're clear. The likelyhood
that you m/c is high, but get yourself checked out to be sure. It's a
sad time, but chances are things are fine with you and you will get pg
again soon. FYI-your period after a m/c can be strange and will
probably not start on time. After both of mine, my periods were slow to
start.Good luck.
