Blighted ovum twice in a row

[darkshines]

Just wondering if anyone else has experience of this?

First one was in November last year and wasn't discovered until first scan at 12+5. Now I've just had a second one discovered at an early scan at 8+0 - well, technically it was two BOs as two empty sacs could be seen. Have to go back next week for a rescan but I'm certain on my dates so there's no hope. I'm sad and fed up and don't want to go through it all again and then have to start over. But of course that's what has to happen now.

Anyone else been through similar?

I can't help with this but saw your post was unanswered and just wanted to send you a great big hug. How heartbreaking. I have had a MMC recently too and mine was an empty sac so assume also BO, my clinicians haven't been very forthcoming with information.

It must be so frustrating and heartbreaking for you.

I can't help with the two in a row thing but happy to listen if you need to rant xxx

Thanks stoaty, so sorry you've been through it too. It's the most frustrating thing as all I've been told is that it's just one of those things and not something that can be treated/avoided.

Fx we both have better luck next time x

I am telling myself that while it's frustrating, it's not that my body is not working, it's an unfortunate and painful biological lottery. The limbo bit you're in now is awful, i was convinced it was okay, just small.

That must have been so hard for you :( I suspected it this time so was able to mentally brace myself for the news at least.

You're right of course, it should be a comfort to know that it's just the luck of the draw. Maybe we should both buy lottery tickets!

((((Hugs))))
I had a MMC at 12 week scan and twas awful.
Became pregnant 2 years later and had a constant feeling of dread. I be now got my rainbow baby so take heart, but give yourself time to grieve and grow strong again x

Sorry Dark for your discovery. I have just found out the same thing this week at my first scan-12 weeks. It's such a horrible thing. I feel my body betrayed me and wish I had gone for an early scan. I was showing early, massive morning sickness,big boobs and it was all nothing.

I had 3 blighted ovums then DD1, then 3 slightly later MC's then DS1. It's so hard, was the hardest time of my life but please don't give up, you will get there x

hi Dark,

i had two empty sacs discovered this week

It is truly shit, and so horrible to think there are so many of us going through it.

i also had a mc at 11 weeks in dec

Wondering if i will ever get to meet any of my babies

Cant keep going through this, but without trying will never get PG

Hi there,
I've had quite a few BO.
I agree that the worse thing is the strong pregnancy feelings, sickness, sore boobs feeling very pregnant.
All for nothing. Felt hopeless if I'm honest.

That said I did have babies in the end.

I was told that the possible cause is thought to be chromosomal in nature, although they are not sure. I never really got any answers, was told that it is highly unusual to have more than one, I went on to have several.

As I say, it all worked out eventually.

I've had two blighted ovum, and it's so exhausting both emotionally and physically. I'm going to try for another time. My cousin had same case and got pregnant after trying for three years. I've been married only for a year and I will not lose hope.
