Nice site. Didn't know it existed. I'll try to monitor it from now on.
Threatened abortion is any pregnancy that is bleeding but ther is not
cervical change. A missed abortion is sononymous with blighted
abortion, but with the latter there is not evidence of a fetal pole,
just an empty sac and abnormal b-HCG .
As far as retained placentas, I'd say (3), such as an accreta, increta
or percreta. The others can usually be removed manually, but all could
remain longer than 30 minutes. Hope this helps? For CREOGs? If so, good
luck.
