Suspected Blighted Ovum

So when I had my first ultrasound last week I thought I was 8 weeks, and they could literally find nothing in my uterus. My doctor thought it was maybe ectopic but we waited to get my betas drawn and scheduled a follow-up ultrasound just to be sure. Last night I went to ER because I was having severe pain on the my right side and after a call to the on-call nurse, she suggested I go in. I had blood work and an ultrasound and they found a gestational sac measuring at 7 weeks, 4 days but no fetal pole or yolk sac. Of course my husband and I were shocked and at first and we thought this was good news, but after some googling (the PA that treated me was just like, "Oh, who knows, everything could be fine but I don't really know") I'm thinking its a blighted ovum. 

My numbers increased from 14,200-something to 20,080...in a week. So not a good sign to begin with. And then everything I read says that at the size my sac was I should see a fetal pole and yolk sac at least, if not a heartbeat. I have my scheduled follow-up ultrasound today so I will talk to my doctor then but its not looking good. It just made it kind of harder to deal with this miscarriage because I had already come to terms with it and last night for about a half hour I thought things were turning around only to find out that its probably still bad news. 

I will keep you all updated as to what my doctor says today. Thinking of you all.

Re: Suspected Blighted Ovum

  • So my regular nurse just called and said my numbers Tuesday were 14,900-something. Yesterday they were 20,080. So in 24 hours they went up 5,000 points....wth. I just want an answer one way or another, not all this back and forth!!!

    Sorry for the vent, but my 2 year old isn't really the best person to discuss this with 
    :P

  • Thanks everyone. I don't have any answers yet. I went in and my np didn't even want to do the ultrasound since the er coukdnt find anything but an empty sac. I pushed hwr though and she did one but couldn't dind anything, not even a sac! She also said my numbers from the er didn't matter bc every place uses a different scale to measure which made no sense to me. So I asked for asecond opinion so now I at a sister hospitalwaiting for another appointment. Prayers are appreciated. Thanks

  • Praying for you



      


  • Thanks ladies. It was still bad news though. It was in fact a blighted ovum. The last doctor was able to easily find a sac but there was nothing it in. It was measuring about 9 weeks. Right now I'm waiting to talk to my husband to discuss our options: waiting and naturally mc, taking meds, or d and c. I'm not sure what I want to do about it yet. 

    Oddly enough, I feel pretty at peace with this. I guess because I finally have some real answers and I can start to figure out how to move on. DH and I will be TTA until we get my recurrent pregnancy loss testing results back. My numbers were so high that I will probably get my results back before I even get my period though. 

    Ugh, the waiting game is the worst!!! Thanks for all your support.
