Yesterday at 10 weeks almost 11 weeks pregnant we finally went in for the first ultrasound, instead of seeing our tiny baby we saw a little empty circle and the doctor announced the dreaded news... “It’s not a viable pregnancy, I’m so sorry.”

Turns out I had what’s called a blighted ovum or anembryonic pregnancy. It’s a kind of miscarriage. The egg was fertilized but the embryo never developed.

If we would have gotten an earlier ultrasound (like I have before in California) we would have seen this a lot sooner, at 7 weeks it’s visible.

It’s nothing we did wrong or could have prevented and the cause of most miscarriages.

Next time I will be getting my ultrasound sooner! I’m actually feeling more angry than sad, Can anyone relate?
