I miscarried 2 days ago in 7th week of my first pregnancy. Where I live, anti-D is given to anyone who has given birth or has miscarried no matter how early the pregnancy was, if the women is Rh negative and partner is Rh positive. Should I receive anti-D as well?

Anti-D is normally only given-depending on which country you live in-after 10 or 11 weeks of pregnancy if you experience bleeding or have a miscarriage. This is because earlier than this, there is not enough fetal blood to sensitize you to Rh antibodies. So while giving anti-D at 7 weeks is not strictly necessary, it is not harmful in any way.
