blighted ovum

I don't wanna bring the mood down on this board but it is a reality and it happened to us. I started having some cramps and light bleeding three days ago (at 9w5d) which got worse over night and we went to see our ob/gyn. They did a regular u/s and and a vaginal u/s and asked me a couple times if I was absolutely sure of our conception date - which I was. So it turns out it was a blighted ovum. Meaning that the gestational sac had formed but never a fetus or embryo. I think I m/c that night because the cramps became really bad and the bleeding just worse. There will be more tests done and another u/s to see if I did in fact pass everything that needed to be passed and I guess we will start over.
I know now, through boards like this, that those things just happen, and I am not the only one, this happened to. That is, why I wanted to share this with this board, not to scare anybody but to confirm that in fact it does happen all the time. It is actually quite amazing that our bodies know what to do if something's just not right.
You will find me on one of the other TTC boards and hopefully soon, back on the birth month boards.
Good luck and a happy and healthy pregnancy to all of you ladies.

Re: blighted ovum
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. With my last m/c I was very sad and very emotional but I was also found comfort in understanding my body was doing it's job and that baby was just not meant to be. It's so hard and I can only offer that it gets easier as time passes.
Now I'm over 11 weeks pregnant and this pregnancy is nothing like that one and after two wonderful u/s I have great hope this will be our take home baby.
I pray you too will find yourself in the same shoes and be able to join another BMB very soon. Please take care of yourself.

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss.
My second miscarriage was a blighted ovum. When you are ready, I highly recommend going to the Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss board and then the TTC after a loss board....they are amazing.

I am so sorry for your loss and you are right, it is too common. Sending lots of prayers that your body handles everything on its own and that you are able to begin the healing process and TTC as soon as you are ready.
After my loss, I found a lot of comfort and support with the TTC after a loss board.

wow, thank you so much for all your kind words and for sharing your success stories after m/c. I think my DH and I are handling it relatively well. We actually can't wait to TTC again.
HHP to everyone
