    Blighted Ovum

    Hi there, I just found out yesterday that I lost my baby. I was 8 weeks to the day. I feel numb inside and am terrified for what may happen in the future. I have so many questions going through my head. Is this going to happen again, what are the odds of it happening again, is there any chance that the doctor may be wrong about the blighted ovum, how long does it take to have the miscarriage pass through me, when do i become fertile again, and most of all why did this happen. I'm sure every woman on this page wonders that, but I just can't grasp why! I have never prayed so hard in my life and I felt so let down. There are people out there who don't take care of their children and hurt them, and I would have done everything in my power to be the best mother I could be. I can't figure out if I am angry, upset, scared, or what. I'm sorry if this post is all over the place, but thank you for letting me write.

    Oh Emily you have come to the right place. Take your time and use BB as a place to tell your story as often as you need too!

    M/C is very sad whenever it happens, sadly there are normally no answers to the whys?

    Hope you have a supportive Dr that can help you make the right decisions with you about natural m/c or D &Cs or when to start trying again...

    Take care and remember that your feelings are REAL and IMPORTANT no matter what others think you should be feeling.

    em - i have had the same thing happen. only i didnt have any signs, i had bad morning sickness and boobs, then went for 12 weeks scan to see a sac measuring 8 weeks, had to have a d and c coz my cervix wasnt opening at all. My ob told me i could try again next cycle so we did, it took 14 months to fall preg the first time and low and behold 9 months after the d and c and a month before we started IVF i fell pregnant again and am currently 9 weeks, havent had a scan yet but i feel this could be our time. You will get your bub, trust me.
