Blighted Ovum 6 weeks

[Cookz]

Hi all,
Looking for some comfort and maybe some other people’s experience of this.
First pregnancy and had early scan today as they thought I was further than I was (irregular cycle).
Sac present and measuring 6weeks but no yolk, were gutted.
Been told it’s a blighted ovum has anyone else had this?
I have had bloods and have another scan on Tuesday but not holding out any hope.

Any advice or stories would be appreciated.
Thank you x

I don't have any experience of blighted ovum but I've had two losses.
I'm sorry you've had to go through this and you might get more advice if you move the thread to miscarriage or pregnancy?

Thank you, sorry I’m fairly new here and still getting used to it all.

It's such a shock when you first hear it. I had one, discovered at the 12 week scan. Had no idea this was a possibility and no inkling that anything was wrong. I opted for surgical management, which was very straightforward, stopped bleeding very quickly and was able to go to work the next day (at least physically). Then conceived DD within 3 months, who is now 3. I wish you all the best.

Yes I’ve had this, more than once too unfortunately.
Also dealt with it in several different ways.

I’ve waited for nature to take its course. This ended up with me knowing about the blighted ovum at 7 weeks but not actually miscarrying until 13 weeks with full on pregnancy symptoms throughout this. I needed morphine and gas & air when it did happen due to the labour pains.
I would not recommend that at all, it was extremely traumatic.
There is “medical management “ which is tablets to induce the loss, again, extremely painful & traumatic.
Then “surgical management “ which is quick, clean, very fast recovery physically.

To me, it was a huge loss of a baby, even though there never was a baby.
With fertility issues then miscarriages it’s been a horrific journey.
I do now have 2 kids though.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t bother with the bloods as the results gave me no meaningful or helpful information, but I did have the scans though to check progress and ensure that there were no “retained products” as they call them after the miscarriage itself.
All the best with it, it’s an absolute bitch of a thing to go through, but you will get through it.
