  I'm so sorry to hear this. I had a blighted ovum last year, I will never forget how it felt when there was nothing there, just an empty sac. I waited months trying to miscarry naturally but it never happened and I ended up having to have a DC. It was a very difficult experience. I know the misdiagnosed miscarriage site gives you hope, but in all honesty at this point the chances of anything developing are very slim to none. My advice to you is to think about how long you are willing to wait. It really is torture. My doctor said I went longer than any patient he's ever had. In the end I wished I had just opted for the DC from the very beginning. Best of luck to you and again I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

  I'm so sorry for the bad news. My losses were always spontaneous and before I'd had an u/s so I never had to go through that kind of stress. (( hugs)). I hope everything turns out ok.

  I'm sorry to hear this.  I also had a blighted ovum prior to this pregnancy.   I miscarried about 1 week after I had the ultrasound showing it.  The bright side is they say is generally only happens once and the next pregnancy works out fine.  I got pregnant 3 months after mine and everything is going well and going to deliver in about 3 weeks.  Good luck to you.

  so sorry for what you are going thru. We opted to do DNC, did not want to prolong the misery and disappointment. I know it's hard, but the sooner you move on, the easier it is.

  I had a gf go through this while I was pregnant, and her experience was like the pp's, no spontaneous m/c and after lots of waiting, she needed a D&C. 

  Sorry.

  I've been where you are. About a year and a half ago, I went to the doc thinking I was about 8-ish weeks, but the sac only measured 4w6d. They said to wait a week and come back for another ultrasound. Sure enough, in that week nothing grew and the  ultrasound tech said that I should expect a heavy period soon by the looks of my uterus. I haven't heard or visited the site you mentioned, but I know from my experience I started cramping a day or two after the ultrasound tech said I should expect to and just had an "unusually long for me" period. It lasted about 6-7 days, but was not any more painful than a typical one. Hoping for the best for you!
