1st Trimester
has anyone been told they have a Blighted Ovum, but just end up being less weeks than they thought?
hey ladies, im just wondering about this. i have had a busy last few months planning for my wedding which was october 1st, so i wasnt neccesarily paying attention to my cycles. i was on the nuvaring for b.c and quit taking it july with, for the very last time hoping to detox off the b.c and be pregnanct by the end of october/november. so i know i it usually takes me r to 5 days to get my period after that, and i got it by july 1st, and i remember havinga period in august but cant remember whatpart of august and the sam goes for september, i cant remember if i had one or not. so anyways i had been feeling nautious, sore breasts etc. and took a test sept.30th and it was positive, but very faint. and i took another october 1st which was negative? so i ended up retesting october y6th and it was positive again, faint as well bt a little stronger. and i had i blood prgnancy test october 7th which ws positive as well, and the nursetold me i was possibly r weeks maybe even less and wasvery early. so then the next night october8th i started spotting a bit, called my doctor the next morning and they asked me to come in for my levels on tuesday, we retested and my hcg were good, andd my progesterone was low an 11 when she said it shld be a 20? anyways i stopped spotting and started again 2 days later and the dr. said come back in for a visit and theyd like to start me on progesterone shots and while i was there we did an ultrasound and the tech measured the gestational sac at 8 weeks, which i feel is not possible. but found not fetus in the sac, just the sac. and she proceeded to tell me i had a blighted ovum and would need a d&c and left the room, dr came in suprised to see me crying (and had no idea why) i explained to him what she had said and he said he just didnt think i was that far along yet, my levels hadnt reached 2000 yet so i wouldnt see anything on a u/s anyways, so to come backin tuesay oct18th for another u/s....now i am baffled!!! does anyone have any idea or know of a situation like this that turned out ok? i have a perfectly healthy 3 year old who i never had any problems with during pregnancy, i just dont get this..

I got my BFP 1 week ago. I went for my prenatal appointment on Tuesday (10/11) the doctor said that I was definitely pregnant and they thought I was 9 weeks based on my LMP. My husband and I didn't think so b/c my cycles are usually 65 days not 28 days so she sent us for a dating U/S. They only found a gestational sac measuring 6 weeks. There was no fetal pole, no yoke no nothing in it. The doctor called and said to get my beta's checked and to repeat on Thursday, and that if my levels were going up then it'd be a viable pregnancy, if not then no baby. I got a phone call Friday morning that said my beta's went up but they still weren't sure so I had to repeat on Saturday again.Well Friday night at work I went to the bathroom and had heavy red bleeding. I totally freaked out, called my husband and he took me right to the hospital. After waiting for 90 minutes in the waiting area they took me back to triage, ran blood work and got me in for an U/S. My beta levels went up from Thursday to Friday(Fri. nights level was 20,000+). Right before my u/s i used the ladies room and the bleeding had stopped completely. The U/S tech also said the gestational sac was still empty but grew and is now measuring 6w6d/7w0d. The nurse came out to us and told us that it is a miscarriage. I asked how this could be if the sac is still growing, my levels are still going up and my bleeding has stopped. All she said is that it is a miscarriage and that if my levels continue to go up then my doctor will have to look into an ectopic pregnancy. We also found out that I'm RH- and they gave me a shot of RhoGam.Today I've had no more spotting and am feeling much better. I'm right there with you feeling confused and nervous. I've been looking and re-looking at everything and for me to be 7 weeks is impossible b/c my husband wasn't home at that time. We're calculating that I could be 5 weeks based on when DH was home and knowing when we BD'd.I hope that you're able to just try and relax until you find out for sure, which trust me I know is easier said than done. Best of luck to you that you're just not far enough along and that this is your sticky baby.
