Recurrent Blighted Ovum?

in TTC After a Loss
For those of you who don't know me, I've been on this board on and off since July '08.  I have now had 2 blighted ovums.  I had a sonohysterogram that was normal, all of my bw so far has been normal.  I am just nervous that maybe it is something more complex.  My dr does not want to do any genetic testing yet as it will run about $5,000 with my insurance (which is more than we can spend right now).  I am not sure if I am comfortable TTC again next month without more answers or if I want to believe I am a victim of bad luck (which we obviously have, our house was struck by lightning 5 wks before last m/c! :) and try again.  I just wanted to get your opinions and see what you think, would you be cautious or go ahead with the plan of TTC next cycle (if I ever O this cycle, I am on CD 29!)?

    I am so sorry you've gone through all that! I don't know very much about blighted ovum's so I can't offer you any advice about when to try again.  $5,000 is a lot to spend on testing.  Hang in there and I hope you get answers soon!

    I don't know... but {{hugs}}

    stupid bump sent out my post before I was ready!

     I don't know much at all about lighted ovum.... but I can see your fear.  After 3 pregnancies that all had something wrong, I was super worried about another... even though I have a live birth.  My doctor pretty much told me it is likely bad luck.  They think the first miscarriage could have been a progesterone problem, and the next was probably a chromosomal problem... and my pre-eclampsia was probably a fluke.  I am just putting my trust in God that the next one will result in a healthy baby.

    This is a very individual decision but I'll tell you what I would do.

    I would go ahead and TTC.  You know you don't have the $5000 right now and even if you did, there is nothing saying that would give you any answers.  Many, many people have two m/c and go on to have a healthy baby with no special treatment.

    Personally, my desire to have a child far out weighs my fear of another m/c.  (I have already had 3).    I know I am strong enough to get through another m/c and will just try again if that is what it takes.
