Tina, when I lost my angel my ob was unable to tell me whether it was a blighted ovum or a silent/missed miscarriage. It didn't make a difference to me and I grieved for my baby. But I have also found that people don't seem to understand what a blighted ovum is. Other people in this thread have highlighted the fact that some people seem to think it's "just a bunch of cells", but those cells contain the entire genetic makeup of a person! So no matter when the baby stopped developing, in my mind it is most definitely a baby.

It's kind of sad that I stopped even referring to the experience as a possible blighted ovum and just call it a misscarriage now so that people will understand. I wish there was more awareness out there, because I'm sure more awareness would create more compassion.

Our angels are always in our thoughts :hugs:
