Blighted ovums

Would like to hear from anyone who has had one if pregnancy symptoms continue when you ate diagnosed with a blighted ovum and also were there any signs that the pregnancy wasn't viable

I had one diagnosed at what should have been 12 weeks, no symptoms. It showed up on my 12 week scan.
I was fortunate to go on to have two perfectly fine pregnancies though.

Same as above, mine was at the 12w scan. Still had a lot of pregnancy symptoms. I think it was a week or so later it passed naturally. Unfortunately I went on to have three more miscarriages (these weren’t blighted ovums, just the pregnancies didn’t develop properly even after seeing heartbeats etc.).

I’m so sorry, it’s such a horrible and strange time feeling you’re pregnant when there is an empty sac.

I’m so sorry your going through this, my first mc was a blighted ovum, I had pregnancy symptoms weeks 4-6ish then they stopped, then at about 7 weeks I started bleeding and after a couple of scans they confirmed blighted ovum. It could have been pure coincidence my symptoms stopped though, some have successful pregnancies with no symptoms, some suffer things like blighted ovum and symptoms continue for a long time.
Take care xx
