Blighted ovum

Caddie • Pediatric MA. TTC. Fur mom to 3

I have been TTC since April. I got pregnant in May and was told to go to my doctor at 8 weeks so I made the appointment. I didnt think i was pregnant. I was at work one day and had some cramping and some weird discharge and googled it. The first thing that came up was pregnancy so i tested the next morning to get it out of my head, and it was positive! I took 3 more tests that day. Pink and blue dye tests. I was beyond excited and told my husband and he was even more excited. Waiting til that appointment was torture. I just wanted to see my baby and hear it's heartbeat. I was pretty sick during that time. I still can't eat at some of my favorite restaurants because I felt sick after eating then when I thought I was pregnant. The night before the appointment,my husband asked me if we would hear the heartbeat and I told him yes if everything is okay and it's on track. I had done a lot of research and read about blighted ovums and told him that was my worst fear about going to the u/s. I tried not to get my hopes up for that reason. I just felt like something was wrojg. The next day when we went, the u/s tech only took a few seconds to look at my uterus and took a lot of time on my overies. I seen the sac in those few seconds and realized there was nothing there and instantly started crying. I hadn't had morning sickness at all and the morning of the appointment I couldn't stop vomiting. I thought it was a good sign but it wasnt. I was making a cross country move at the end of the next week so my options were limited. I opted to have a second u/s 1 week later just to make sure, even though I knew what happened. I had a d&c; two days later and drove cross country two days after that. Now I am nearing the end of AF and so excited and scared to start trying again. I'm really hoping I get pregnant this cycle and the baby sticks. Please say a prayer we get a baby this time. Good luck to all you ladies as well!
