I guess I had a blighted ovum?

I'm supposed to be 9w4d pregnant. I went to my first Dr. appointment today, and they found a sac but no baby. He didn't tell me more than that, he just wanted me to get blood work.

I know my dates can't be too far off because my last period was Feb 15, and I got a positive pregnancy test Mar 15. I'm assuming this is a blighted ovum? I'm so heartbroken. I wanted this baby so badly.

For any of you that have experienced this, what can I expect? Will I probably miscarry naturally eventually?

    This happened to me about a weeks ago. I was 6 1/2 weeks and the baby was way too small to be 6 weeks so they just gave me blood work, I started miscarrying before they even got the results back. If there's no baby then yes its a blighted ovum, and I know how heartbreaking this is, we tried and prayed for 8 months and had a nursery and everything and if you need to talk please email me :)

    I did not go through this..however my best friend did.. Its not techinically a "miscarriage" just to encourage you...because there was never a baby present..a sac developed but there was no embryo or egg..so you didnt lose the baby..it just never exisited..which is good because 1) most women go on to have a perfectly healthy baby the next time and 2) you never lost a child

    As for the miscarrying part..your body probably still doesnt know there is no baby..all the hormones have been able to convince the rest of your body that there is a baby..they may do a D& C or they may just give you some hormone therapy to help induce your body to naturally get rid of the sac and clean out the uterus..

    I recognize how painful it can be for parents to be to experience this kind of shock and upset..but i want you to know that you will more than likely never experience this again and you will go on to have a perfectly healthy baby..and you can try and try and try again..

    My best friend now has a son after finding out she was pregnant just a few months after the blighted ovum..She herself experienced 2 miscarriages before that and when they found out thats what it was..they laughed and were happy because they knew they never lost another child..they continued on to have a healthy beautiful baby boy..So please do not allow this to get you down and cause you to lose hope in having a family..

    My first appointment with my midwife was once set for while I grew to become 10 weeks, so we had no ultrasound or something earlier than then. I had infrequently any signs of being pregnant rather then sore boobs, very worn out and peeing plenty - which was once bizarre for me considering the fact that I am consistently in poor health as a puppy the complete manner via all of my pregnancies. Two days earlier than my first appointment, I started recognizing. I was once approximately to visit mattress and I went to the toilet to discover I was once recognizing brown very calmly. This made me fairly fearful, however I was once comforted that it was once brown. I went to mattress and awoke within the morning to extra brown blood, however had no cramping or something so I felt OK. I known as the document they usually stated it must be nice and that I was once coming in day after today, so that they would determine it out then. I waited - after which the blood grew to become purple. I knew. I simply knew. So, I had my sister in legislation take me to the medical institution and I began bleeding heavier, then they did an ultrasound and noticed a sac however not anything in it. Hours later I additionally misplaced the sac. They stated that it was once at 7 weeks gestation, however there was once no youngster. They advised me it was once a blighted ovum - which I had certainly not heard of - and despatched me house with suffering killers and prayers. About an hour later I had a whole miscarriage. It sucked and it nonetheless sucks. I fairly HOPE that is not the case together with your being pregnant, but when I have been you I might get ready for the worst and desire for the first-rate.

    I am so sorry for your news. That would be really heartbreaking. I have never experienced it, so would just recommend that you follow your doctor's orders about what to do next.
