Q: UTI and miscarriage ???

on 3-9-09 in the morning I took a home pregnancey test, and it came out postitive. Then I called my OB and he sent me to get some blood test that same day. Then the next day 3-10-09 I started stopping some brown mucusy blood. I got worried so I called my OB and they told me that my HCG was only 45 and that I was probley haveing a miscarriage. My last period was Jan 16 of 09. so they estimated that i was 5 to 7 weeks pregnant. So that did ease my mind. So on 3-11-09 I went to the ER because now the bleeding was still brown but with some red along with cramps. They took more blood for an Hcg and a pelvic exam, and a urine test. the pelvic exam showd that my cervix was closed, but the blood levels were down to 38,the urine test came back negative, but showed that i had a UTI. and they told me that i was deffinatly was miscarriaging. And I am still having horrible cramp and still bleeding.. But my question is Could the UTI caused me to miscarry???

No, a UTI is not going to cause a miscarriage. This is a great question for the follow up appointment you have with your doctor. Have you been advised to have a D&C or when would be a good time to check in with the doctor for the bleeding?

They didnt say anything about a D&C. But cramps and bleeding seem to be slowing down thoght. Thank gosh they were horrible.. They told me to just call them when in 2 months when we start trying again, because they want to put me on prenatals. So I just assume that everything is just going to take care of itself with the miscarriage thing??? I guess. they didnt tell me that i had to do anything. Is there??

If your doctor didn't tell you to follow up with him/her, then I guess you don't.
