TTC After a Loss
Blighted Ovum???
I went to the doc today and we just saw a sac and nothing in it, my follow up is next week. For those who had a blighted ovum when was it discovered and what did you do i.e. dnc or natural?
TIA...holding out for hope, but know the reality of life...

Re: Blighted Ovum???
Aren't you still WAYYY early in pregnancy?? I think you should not think of m/c yet. I'm holding hope for you.
ETA: Your BFP was on 8/28/09, you shouldn't see anything on an ultrasound yet...
This. I didn?t even think you had an US coming up so soon. Try not to give up yet. thinking of you and DH. xoxox
Thanks ladies, I had a small amount of spotting that has stopped and I just called the Doc office and they just told me to come in, i was having some pain on my right side it turns out it is just a cyst, I am still early and had no expectations to see a heartbeat or anything, but looking at the internet there still should have been something in there. I will always have hope but just wanted to know others experience. My true appointment is next Wednesday.
This TTC after a loss makes me crazy, this whole experience has rocked my world and made me more paranoid than I ever though possible.
Thanks again for your nice words, I will let you know!
Stay positive! I knew mine was a Blighted Ovum at my u/s apt because I charted and knew the day I Oed and the baby shoul have had a heart beat and measured at almost 8 weeks...we measured at 4w3d
They wanted me to wait it out...they did not seem that worried but said I will probably start spotting or bleeding soon if it was going to be a m/c. I started spotting the next day...
You really should stay positive but I wanted to answer your question as well because mine was a blighted ovum and when I was going through all of that I wanted answers more then just hope...
Good Luck!
First of all, I agree w/pp. You're probably way too early to see anything yet. My sil's 5 wk ultrasound showed nothing more than a sac. I'm fairly sure you don't see anything until into the 6th wk.......
Secondly, I had a blighted ovum. I was almost 8wks. They saw a fetal pole, but no baby-- and since I didn't chart, they had me wait a week and go back in just to make sure that my dates weren't off. They weren't. I continued to measure w/my lmp but no baby. At 10wks5days I had a d&c w/no fetal pole even present. I opted for the d&c because i had no signs of a natural miscarriage. I had no spotting, no cramping.
As for the d&c---it was really quick and I was surprized at the recovery. I had very minimal cramping and the spotting stopped w/in the first week. I got AF back 5 wks later.
~~~~Most importantly, you need to stay positive. There is still a very good possibility that you're just way too early to see anything and that everything is fine. Keep us posted!!~~~~~
Mine was discovered around 5 or 6 weeks, but I was bleeding for around 14 days when it was confirmed.
I too thought you were quite early still. Hang in there.
I agree with pp... Keep the faith... I had a BO but I should have been 8 weeks and was measuring 6 weeks with no fetal pole and no HB. I did not want to wait for a natural MC and I was showing no signs of one and the Dr was able to get me in for a D&C the next day so I took it.... It went well and AF showed up 5 weeks later...
I wish you the best...
