Blighted ovum

hello

4 months postpartum

LMP Oct 26th 4 positives

Dec 20th 8 week ultrasound blighted ovum, empty sac. I never experienced this before so I didn’t ask how big the sac was measuring. I wish I did.. it didn’t look tiny.. Doc said to expect bleeding in the coming weeks and if I don’t pass it naturally to schedule a D&C..

I never had even a drop of blood since my last period and I am reading these somewhat outlandish pregnancy success stories of misdiagnosed blighted ovums?

I have not had blood work done so I do not know what my hcg levels are at. I am just curious why at 8 weeks preg my body still thinks I am pregnant. I know I may be holding onto this longer than I should be but my body is usually pretty good about things like this. No bleeding or anything has me thinking there may be still a chance despite my ob saying it’s over.

Any success stories here with an empty sac at 8 weeks?

I am going to take a test tomorrow out of curiosity because there is no way hcg could be detected at 8 weeks if it probably never developed to begin with. If it’s positive my hcg must still be high or present. I think it’s supposed to drop to zero then bleeding will begin. Idk

I’m bummed.
