Blighted Ovum - Misdiagnosed?

[Sanchez]

Hi Girls and Grake

I agree with the girls that waiting for the scan is a good idea....may be a loooong week for you though!
Being so early in gestation, if you implanted later it may just be quite behind.

I had a BO last year - found out at 8 weeks though.

Good luck i will cross fingers and say a prayer

just wanted to check in to see how you are going??

dont really have much advise that the others havent already said, but its sort of got to give you hope when a fetal pole is visable!! you poor thing being in limbo land is the WORST thing ever!!! must be very stressful for you, one minute you have accepted that it might be all over and then to have it turn aroundand show a little hope. it must be very hard.

if you need to talk or want to vent we are always here for you

i have everything crossed that this will be a happy ending!!!! please let us know how you go

will be thinking of you

take care xxx

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the good wishes and advice.

I've had another scan since then and it hasn't grown in the last 2.5 weeks. I was supposed to be 8.5 weeks by now, but the scan is still showing that I'm only 6w3d in size. The trans-vaginal scan showed the same thing. I've also had some bleeding and pretty bad cramps since. So I am going ahead with the d&c on Friday. I just want it to be over so we can try again.

Thanks again for the support.

xoxo

I think all the waiting has been killing me. And now knowing I have to wait to ttc again.

Is it wrong to feel jealous of others that are pregnant or have babies? It just seems some people find it so easy to get pregnant and do so with no issues.

Grake my emotions came out in anger. I was so angry that others had no problems, that people I thought didn't deserve to have children had no problems. I was jealous and angry for a while, i think until i got pregnant again and once i knew that everything looked ok.....then the negative emotions went away.

Honey it is only natural to feel you have been robbed of something so may others have.

All the best for Friday, I was so upset when i went in for my d & c, the realisation that my dream was truely over.
Make sure your DH looks after you, I will say a prayer you have a quick road to the next pregnancy.

Best wishes Grake, Im so sorry you have had to go through this. I pray for a quick recovery and a short TTC journey when you feel up to it. xox

I am so sorry to hear you are having to go through this. I have also had a blighted ovum resulting in a d&c at 8 weeks. It is absolutely normal for you to feel angry, upset and envious of people who fall pregnant very easily. These are all very normal feelings.

Please take care of yourself and allow yourself time to heal.
