Am I Having An Infection After My Abortion?

Hi I had a missed abortion at 8 weeks. I waited for 10 days for spontaneous expulsion but didn't happen. Then I took 2 doses of 600 sublingual misoprostol followed by 8 hrs heavy bleeding ,cramps with sac expulsion. Had an US 2 days later. Doc said she cudnt see any sac or membranes but endometrium was thick. To have a recheck hcg in 3 weeks, but 4 days after misoprostol including 2 days of no bleeding at all, now I am having minimal bleeding but moderate lower abdominal pain not cramps. Just diffuse heaviness and discomfort . I am not having much bleeding. I am concerned if that indicates infection or does it mean I need a d& c or is it normal. Plz guide me. Thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here the first thing is to ruled out the possibility of residual part of sac or whether the missed abortion is still there, the chances of infection is minimal, but the uterus should be examined for "Gravid" and for that the best option is ultrasonography test this would clear the doubt, hope this information helps you have nice day.
