Blighted ovum, but hoping diagnosis is wrong

BrosisBrosis
in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

At my 8wk u/s, only an empty sac and yolk were visible by transvaginal u/s. ?The doctor was quick to diagnose a blighted ovum, and didn't give much hope for a viable pregnancy. ?I have a repeat u/s scheduled for Thursday, and am hoping she was wrong. I have a tilted uterus, and have read that this can sometimes make it difficult to see a baby on u/s, at least in the 1st Tri. ?Also, if dates are off by a week or two that can affect what can be seen on u/s as well.

I'm trying to leave this in God's hands either way. ?Waiting is certainly a challenge though. ?I don't know if I should be holding out hope or waiting for another m/c. ?I'm still feeling PG so far, with no signs of bleeding.

Has anyone else been in this situation?????

    Hmmm...the fact that you had a yolk sac seems like a good sign....And if you are off by 2 weeks, it is possible you may only be 6 weeks....If that is the case, it is possible that no fetal pole would be evident yet...however, at 8 weeks, there should be a fetal pole and cardiac activity. I was 6 weeks and I had a fetal pole with no h/b...:(

    I had a BO with my 2nd m/c, and it was EMPTY. Nothing..not even a yolk sac....

    I hope it works out for you...Keep us posted.

    I hope your dates are off and that your tilted uterus is the reason they couldn't see the baby.  Good luck.  I am hoping for you that everything turns out positively!

    Trust your instincts.  Your doc should not even mention this diagnosis until at least one more ultrasound is performed especially since you have a tilted uterus.  Hang in there.  I have read/heard about many success stories. I hope you get good news at your next appt. While you wait check out:

    I have a tilted uterus and the docs always had to do the trans-v ultrasound on me, unfortunately my story didn't have a very happy ending.  I hope that this is not your case.  In my situation when I was supposed to measuring at 8wks, my baby was only measuring at 6w3d, there was a fetal pole, but no hb.  We waited a week (which was so excruciating so believe me many of us understand) and then went back in for another u/s but there had been no progress and I was having no signs of a miscarriage.  No bleeding, no cramping, my cervix was still closed.  They diagnosed me with a missed miscarriage and a day later I had my D&C.  I hope the best for you and by no means do I want upset you, I just wanted to share my story with you.  Don't give up hope, it's not over until it's OVER if you know what I mean.  Hang in there {{BIG HUGS}} and know that we are here if you need us.

    Hi, I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage two weeks ago and had my D&C last Monday.  They found a yolk sac at six weeks but by the next week it was gone.  I think the waiting was the worse for me and I still had all the pg symptoms with no bleeding.  I am slowly coming to terms with my loss and today is the first day I have just had some light spotting since my D&C.  I have heard that with a tilted uterus it is hard to see the baby in the 1st trimester.   I am hoping and praying everything turns out successful I will keep you in my prayers.  Giving you lots of hugs and we are always here when you need us.

    This has definitely been an emotional rollercoaster. ?I looked up the misdiagnosed m/c website (thanks?for the link!) and am again surprised how quick my doctor was to rush to judgement. ?Also, I haven't had ANY HCG's drawn this PG. ?The nurse said they don't usually test HCG levels as long as a urine PG test is positive.

    I'm going to keep waiting and hope for better news next week. ?

    Thanks so much for your support during this nerve-wracking time.

    I had 2 bo's and know what you are dealing with. The 1st time I had a sac and yolk sac and the 2nd time I just had a sac. When did you test positive for this pregnancy. That would be the key to see if you ovulated late or not also. If you tested positive the day or earlier of your missed period then you ovulated and got pregnant at a normal time and unfortunately that diagnosis of the bo is correct. If you didn't get a positive for 1-2 weeks after your period was due then you could be ovulating late. GL to you!
