A question was asked on the need for Rhogam following a first-trimester miscarriage in a Rhesus negative mother, to which I replied viz-
"Thank you for your email. If you are unsensitized(this is confirmed by a blood test in the hospital called indirect Coomb's test), then you qualify for Rhogam. However, you have had a very early miscarriage, in the first trimester. If it was spontaneous, not induced, and did not warrant any intervention like MVA and D and C, then you do not need Rhogam."
