Had miscarriage at 6w3d. on 4/2/13. have a neg. blood. er/urgent care docs did not give rhogam shot. is it needed? not sure of hubby's rh factor.

You need it soon: 85% of people have rh+ blood, so playing the laws of averages, there is a very strong likelihood that the father was rh+. There is always the chance that the baby would have been rh- and Rhogam wouldn't be necessary, but why take the chance. It's to prevent a problem with future pregnancies.
