Very sad day. Thought I was 8 weeks pregnant and went to my first OB appointment today. They did our first ultrasound. I was so excited until I saw the look on our doctor's face. There was an egg....but no developing embryo inside. The doctor sent me for a more comprehensive ultrasound this afternoon which confirmed the unfortunate diagnosis......Blighted Ovum. I am overwhelmed with feelings of sadness and grief right now. Just keep thinking ......why me? My husband has been very supportive but I know he is very sad as well. I am opting for a D&C because I cannot bear the thought of waiting weeks for my body to miscarry.

Thank you ladies for the kind words. I had my D&C yesterday. I am feeling very emotional and hope that time will heal my wounds. My husband and I are going to wait several months before trying again. This would have been our first pregnancy which makes this even harder. Again, thank you for the kind words.

I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and I went through the same exact situation. It was our first pregnancy and we were at our first check-up when I saw that same look on the doctors face, same feeling of confusion. I had no idea what a blighted ovum was until I got the news and still it took days for me to believe it. It is hard but the sadness, which is so heavy at first, gets lighter and hopefully your next pregnancy goes better. I'm praying for you and your husband.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I understand your pain. I went through the same situation, my first pregnancy ended in the ER at 8 weeks. My second pregnancy ended in my ob office with an empty sac. The best advice I can give is time will give you a better understanding of what you are capable of. My last b/o 11-12-11 hit me harder I didn't think it would happen again. It devastated me and now with the months gone by its easier to talk about and easier to think about. I am not a church going person, but I strongly believe God gives you what you can handle and for some reason my first 2 were not meant to be here with me and my husband. 6 months ago I dint think I would want to try again but now after many long talks and hours in my mind I feel the need to try. I hope time will heal you as well. My thoughts are with you!!
