Hello and welcome,
If your husband is having a Rh +ve blood group, then you maust take anti D as soon as possible.
The baby was about 6 weeks but it depends upon the machine configuration. They must have mentioned the gestation in weeks in the report.
It is better to wait for 3-6 months before trying to conceive again. Start folic acid tablets in the last 3 months before you start attempting again.
Also get a indirect coombs test done before pregnancy to see if you are sensitized for anti D.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
