You probably won't see anything. Try to avoid a D&C unless Dr says it is a 'missed miscarriage'. Some of my early miscarriages at 5-6 weeks were re-absorbed or may be went down the toilet (horrible I know, I tied to avoid that). Once I found what might have been an embryo, grey, with 2 dark dots that were may be were eyes. I just had my eighth miscarriage, this time at 10 weeks, baby probably stopped growing around 6-8 weeks, I 'gave birth' to an embryo and a placenta.
Don't give up hope for next time, I have 2 kids, age 5 and 6 years old.

The baby is connected by the umbilical cord to the placenta. The placenta is attached to the inside of the womb. Blood carries food through the blood vessels in the wall of the womb and the blood vessels of the placenta absorb the food.
What is a placenta where is it and what is used for?
The placenta grows inside the uterus of a pregnant mother during growth of the unborn fetus. The placenta allows nutrients, wastes, oxygen, carbon dioxide, fluids, hormones, and other substances to pass between the host (pregnant mother) and the fetus without letting their blood streams co-mingle. The placenta is expelled as part of the birthing process, and is commonly called the afterbirth. Follow the Related Link below to view a Wikipedia article on this subject.
