I went to the doctor today at 8 weeks pregnant to see how my baby was doing. I had been bleeding pretty badly and was prepared for a miscarriage. Or so I thought. They did my ultrasound and my doctor told me I have a blighted ovum. In other words I conceived, and a sac for the baby formed, but my baby never did, because of whatever genetic abnormalities. The doctor said that these ovums when researched are usually 2/3 genetically mismatched and that had a child formed it would have so many abnormalities. He called it natures way of getting rid of bad eggs. I feel at a loss because I loved this "baby" from the time I found out about it. And I feel like my doctor thinks it's for the better so he doesn't understand my loss. Has anyone else had a blight ovum? Experiences?
