Pregnancy Info HOME

hey i posted an add Sep 25th, 2008 2:11 PM a was booked in for a d and c but my heart told me to get a scan to make sure this was really what was wrong i am ever so glad i did as my baby is there and growing the last scan i had i was to early for them to see the baby and they saw a clot which is know as a haematoma they mistaken this for the sac and thought it was empty when they were looking at the wrong thing so please i advise anyone to go for another scan a week or 2 after you have been diagnosed with this good luck xx

I had a blighted ovum Last year, its very heartbreaking and I am sorry you have to go through it.
I found out at around 6 weeks that i had a blighted ovum, and at 11 weeks I still didn't pass it. So i had to have a D&C. The D&C was amazing compared to passing it yourself, since after the operation, I spotted for only one day. On the dowside, I didn't get a period for about 8 weeks, and I haven't been regular since.
But i just found out the other day I am pregnant again. The only thing I can do is pray and cross my fingers that this one is a baby.

I've apparently got twin blighted ovums. I should be almost 10w. I haven't miscarried and no sign of anything happening.

I had a D&C friday evening. A week and half prior had ultrasound, found 2 sacs, both empty. But measuring 6w4d and 6w. We were so hopeful, all the symptoms of sore breasts and tired were there, HCGs were up, not sure if doubled but were at 14000. Had U/S scheduled friday at noon, got a call at 10am HCG levels dropped to 11000, so we knew. When we went to U/S, all we saw were smaller sacs curving in on themselves. No babies, no heartbeats. We are so devasted. I was terrified of D&C, but even more terrified of miscarrying at home, opted for D&C. We got through it, I was so sick for a few days with body aches and cramps. I so want to try again, but I am 39 this month, and glucose is high, found out Gestatinal Diabetes early one. I want to try but cant risk my life, I ave a beautiful 6 yr old lil girl who needs me. I feel so lonely and lost through this. I know I am not alone, I wanted these lil babies. I never expected twins, and I think that just made it all the harder. I miss rubbing my tummy, thinking of them in there growing, I just feel so numb. When does the heartbreak end? Should we try again at 39?

7 weeks and 5 days today - Yesterday had some slight bleeding after intercourse. It only was observed with wiping (TMI) then it changed to brown discharge. I did not have cramping until later last night - after the bleeding had ceased for several hours.

Called my clinic and had an u/s today. The u/s showed I was only 5 weeks based on size of sac. No heartbeat yet but was told this is normal for 5 weeks. I am to come in next week for another u/s.

I'm feeling scared that this is a blighted ovum. This is our first pregnancy and I am 31 and healthy.

Has anyone experienced this situation with similar symptoms?

Thanks.

I am so sorry for your worry. With both pregnancies (1 full preg and 1 blighted ovum) I had spotting at 9 weeks. With healthy preg I spotted for a day, with blighted ovum it continued all week got little brown to a bit more bright red. I had swollen ankles with both right away, but with blighted ovum it went away, I think that was my first sign, then the spotting. I wish I could say it's ok, and there us a better % it is, then there isn't, but it makes it so hard. After miscarrying twins and so blindsided by miscarriage, we are trying again, I just turned 39, so we are trying fir a bit, and if it ends bad that will be it for us cause of my age, but... I have to not worry and make myself crazy, this time I am not announcing so soon, and not even going to dr until 10 weeks, and since I know conception and so forth, I should hear heartbeat and see sac, so I don't have the wait between u/s, that was the cruelest week ever, not doing that again. I'm gonna wait the 10 weeks, enjoy it for that time and then I know for sure, unless something bad happens prior.

I did learn it us out of my control, and it hurts so much, but I would have had 2 very sick babies, and even though I guess there weren't fetuses, they were very much my babies. I hope God will bless us when the time is right, I feel so comfort with that.

Somehow... Stay calm... And try not to worry, what will be will be... It is out of our control at this point. Soon you will know and have peace.
