I posted this on the blighted ovum thread a few days ago but am yet to get any response and am impatient so I thought I would post on this thread that seems more active


I had a chemical pregnancy (self diagnosed could have been a 5 week m/c) in July of last year and got pregnant again straight away.

We were really excited and even had a scan at about eight weeks when the dr told me it was all fine (although he could not see a heartbeat!)

In October at about 11 weeks we drove to the nearest big hospital for our scan (about 3hours away) only to be told the sac was empty - it was a blighted ovum.

I had a d and c straight away and was told to wait a couple of cycles before trying again.

It took about a week longer than normal for my period to come back and then my cycle had changed but I have just found out I am preggers again after only really trying for one month!

I am almost afraid to get excited until I see a heartbeat and am trying to keep a lid on all my plans until I know this bean is sticky!!

I know it is hard for people who haven't been there to understand but I still get annoyed when any of the few people who know the details fail to recognise that the BO was a fully fledged preg there was just no baby!

It has given me great hope to read everyone's success stories and find such a supportive online environment so thanks heaps for posting!
