It sounds like you are going through what I went through - no inclination that anything was wrong until almost 11 weeks. I was devastated.
It was a blighted ovum too. I had light spotting, went into emergency, spotting stopped, but ultrasound confirmed no embryo. I had to have a D&C the next day, by which time I'd started bleeding heavily.
I was told to wait one full cycle before trying again. I got my period back right on 28 days, two weeks after that we tried again and were successful. Received our BFP end of Jan and I'm now 26 weeks with this little blessing.
It is so tough - I had no idea anything was wrong and after 2 successful pregnancies and two gorgeous kids so I had no reason to even worry. It hit me really hard and I was a real mess for a while.
Give yourself time to process everything. It is a lot to take in.
ineedpixiedust, I'm so sorry to hear about your devastating loss. Blighted ovums are cruel
I've had two. I miscarried one at 9 weeks, got AF 34 days later (so only slightly longer cycle than normal) and got pregnant again the following cycle. Miscarried the next one at 7 weeks and got AF 32 days later.
Please don't be scared by the fact it happened again, blighted ovums are usually a one off thing. I had a very short luteal phase and we think it was low progesterone that caused them in my case. I'm now 19 weeks pregnant and things are looking good after using progesterone pessaries with this one.
Look after yourself for now When you do decide to try again, the only advice I have is to make sure you have an understanding doctor who will let you have an early scan and do whatever tests you need to reassure yourself. It will be scary, but worth it
dear all.... i am really really really comforted with your msgs... all of them.... when i'm in the lowest of the dumps i'll go through and read again... they are the best words i have read so far since it has happened... at least there is hope even when every dream is shattered.
