Confused - Blighted Ovum / MMC

[LosingtheTTCplot]

I should be 10 weeks today and had a private scan on Saturday but the sac was empty, she suspected a blighted Ovum. I’m 100% on my dates so was referred to EPU.

I had an NHS scan today and they said the same pretty much but they will not diagnose it as a blighted Ovum as my sac is not the correct size to be classed as a blighted Ovum and there are irregularities with/in the sac.

I have to wait 10 days for another scan but she said it will be one of three things.

• I’ll miscarry in the next 10 days (could be sac irregularities are the sac breaking down)
• No change
• Something may develop, but unlikely.

I think she was trying to politely say, go home and wait for the miscarriage. If the miscarriage doesn’t come in 10 days then they will discuss things.

Been a bit crampy this afternoon as had abdo and TV scan.

I just want it over and done with now and was really snappy when she wanted me to wait 10 more days, as if 10 weeks wasn’t long enough for my body to be fooling me for.

I’m confused as if it’s not a blighted Ovum, what is it? A MMC?

@Furbsies I'm glad it's over and you're feeling better - I definitely felt like a massive mental weight had been lifted, and I'm looking forward to trying again and hopefully having some tests to find out if there's an underlying issue. I hope things go well for you in the next few months.

It's funny how different it is for everyone: I have barely bled at all since the procedure and didn't bleed much during it, but it was more painful than I'd expected, whereas my friend didn't find it painful at all!

@itssquidstella it is. I was more scared going in regarding the pain but the blood ended up being the shock for me

Are you still bleeding. And did you have some mild uncomfortable feeling after.

I'm no longer bleeding and not in pain but can tell something unnatural did some stuff inside me yday if you know what i mean?

I'm barely bleeding tbh but I spoke to the EPU again yesterday and they said it can be on and off for a couple of weeks and they didn't seem concerned.

Yeah I had some mild discomfort the day afterwards but it's gone now. I know what you mean about being able to tell something went on down there!

Got a few positive tests since last week and 2 negative ones ( now I know my hcg was low to detect then) got blood test and it showed 19, which apparently is low but there’s still chance if it increases abd due to retest next week and was asked to prepare for either chemical or ectopic. I had some small strange reddish discharge and today small one brownish and cramps. Is this it? Is there any positive light and do you know if I should now wait for period to come? My doctor couldn’t see any sac yet she said either too early or maybe hiding in the tube and next week should know more.
