Anemia/Dehydration Issues *TMI Warning*

[KnottedYet]

Yes, I'd say a D&C is called for.

The insurance is always a problem. At 17 you are still a minor (emancipated or not) and should have been covered by the State MIChild program, but I don't know what would happen now that you are a legal adult (even though the problem began when you were a minor). MIChild cuts off at age 19.

Possibly Medicaid, maybe the state programs for women's health. Try getting ahold of these folks for some insurance help: http://www.michigan.gov/mdch You should certainly qualify as a "medically needy adult". An incomplete miscarriage that has been bleeding for 3 1/2 years counts as "medically needy" in my book!

Is there a Planned Parenthood near you? They are a great resource, and will certainly know of some financial options.

Another vote for Planned Parenthood here.

I was married when all this started. And as an EMANCIPATED minor I did eventually have MIchild again. For the last year I haven't qualified because my husband made to much money which is BS but whatever. They just kept telling me that they couldn't find anything wrong. I just called the docs today to ask for BC pills so then atleast I can work. Once I can work and get everything paid off I will get to the doctor. I expect that I will be working in the next 2 months and from there it will only take about 6 months to pay everything off. Maybe the doctor dude will decide its time to give me a d&c. I could ask him if he would do it & let me pay on it. I don't have the money at the moment to do anything. I still don't even have a drivers license. *sigh* my life sucks! lol. anyways. hopefully i will get word back today saying I will have bc pills. if i can't get them i'm going to sue his *** because he is the other doctor who didn't belive me that i had a misscairage. which i did because unfortunately i saw the fetus. and he still didn't believe me. anyways. besides that. i don't see why he would have a problem with giving them to me seeing as i am anemic and close to going back into the hospital. all he has to do is test me. anyways. thanks for all the help ladies.

You really, really should talk to someone at Planned Parenthood.

Yes -- Kristen, Planned Parenthood will treat you even if you don't have insurance. They use a sliding fee scale that is designed NOT to overburden patients who don't have the ability to pay, and I believe they do a good job realizing this goal. You will often find that most if not all of the providers are women, so it tends to be a very comfortable, supportive environment, **where they will listen to you and take your concerns seriously**. I would definitely recommend making an appointment at Planned Parenthood.

And all y'all who are recommending it... make a donation to PPFA or your local Planned Parenthood clinic.
