Miscarriage

Well that didn't last long.
I went for an ultrasound yesterday and it showed that the baby stopped developing at 5 weeks. I am supposed to be 7.5 weeks along.
I am nervous of a post-pregnancy relapse, but since my hormone levels never got a chance to get very high I am probably not at much risk. We're very sad but will keep try again as soon as we can.
Once I start miscarrying I will have to have a shot of Rh immune globulin because I am Rh negative (if my baby was positive I could build up antibodies to Rh-positive blood, meaning my body would kill any future Rh-positive pregnancies). Has anyone ever read anything about this and how it mixes with autoimmune diseases? I can't find much.
I don't really have a choice in taking it but I am a little leery.
