Hi, I'm new to this forum and boy am I glad I found it! Before september this yr, I had never heard of a blighted ovum and now I believe I am having another one Prior to this I have had four non eventful pregnancies who are now four beautiful children aged 11, 9, 5 and 4. Then I found out I was preg in August and I was really happy that for once I wasn't getting any morning sickness like I suffered with my last 4. At 6 weeks I started to bleed and an U/S confirmed a B/O. I had a normal cycle between the BO and this pregnancy. Now, I am 5 weeks 3days and no morning sickness again, mild sore boobs, last week I did have the blue veins popping out on my chest, but that was gone the next day. By now I would be soo sick and unable to handle any smells, but I am feeling just like I did with the last BO- very mild preg syptoms. I am having an u/s next week and also had a blood test done yesterday and another one to be done on Monday but till then I am just sitting here guessing it's a BO, waiting to start bleeding. I did have the slightest tinge of pink when I wiped yesterday afternoon, but nothing since then. I feel heavy like AF is comming. Thanks for reading, I just needed to come somewhere and vent a little without being told -"I may just not have any preg symptoms this time round" I am told having 2 BO's in a row is unlucky, well I guess I can confirm I AM unlucky I'm also nearly 35 and hubby is nearly 39. Maybe we are just finnished having babies

I am so sorry for your previous loss. As for this pg I never count them as over until they are over. We have all seen women come on this site and post how certain they are that they are having a loss and we have seen it go both ways. I will cross everything I can for a good outcome. Either way no matter what happens we are here for you. We have all been there and the wondering is horrible. Please keep us updated on how you are doing and take care of yourself. (((HUGS)))

I'm hopeful everything will still work out for you this time. I know you may not want to hear again that not having pregnancy symptoms doesn't necessarily mean you are having a BO, but I think it's so true that I will say it anyway. There have been women on here with lots of symptoms who went on to have losses, as well as those with hardly any symptoms who had successful pregnancies. Granted, it has gone the other ways, too. You just never know which way it will go. I don't mean to put down your instincts, just I hope they are wrong in this case. I hope your bloodwork and ultrasound will bring good news.
For me personally, my pregnancy after my BO started out in almost an identical manner. I was convinced it was another loss, but thankfully I was wrong. By the way, it was on my 35th birthday that I got my positive pregnancy test for my son-- the best gift ever. So, I personally don't find 35 too old.
Praying for the best for you! KC

I am so sorry to hear this but praying it will be good news for you. One thing I was told by docs after I had my B/O was that pregnancy hormones & symptoms actually come from the placenta and not the baby so hopefully your symptoms (or lack there of) has little baring on whether there is a baby in there. Fingers crossed all will be well and do us let know how your scan goes next week x x

I am so sorry about your loss and I understand your anxiety and fear this time. I agree with the other ladies that having no symptoms does not mean that you are having another BO. Nor does the spotting. That's actually quite common around 5-6wks gestation which is when the placenta is really digging in to support the pregnancy. So spotting is actually a good sign I think. Being pregnant after a loss is sometimes even a harder experience than the loss. I know it was hard for me. Constantly in fear of it happening again. Convincing myself not to get too excited. The women on this site are fabulous. Most of us have been exactly where you are. And we are here to be your strength when you are having a bad day. We will continue to hope for you and send you loads of sticky dust for your little bean. You are not alone!
Good luck and keep us posted! Marisa

You can not tell if this is a BO or not bases on symptoms. I had the MOST pg symptoms with my first BO. Honestly the only way to tell is to wait and get an us. Try and and take it one moment at a time until then.

Jakc,
I found out I was pregnant again after a BO on the Sunday after T'gving in '06. That Friday night I started spotting and it got heavier all weekend. I remember I was just in tears and was convinced I was having a m/c. I went in for an u/s that following Monday and just knew it was bad news. Much to my surprise, they said things looked right on track but that it was too soon to tell anything. I spotted on and off throughout my 1st trimester (I later discovered I have low progesterone when pregnant.) At 15 wks I had a really heavy bleed that soaked through my clothes and again was convinced I was m/c but was told things looked fine. I went on to have a healthy baby girl who is now almost 3 1/2. I know it's hard to stay positive but just know a lot of us have been there. Regardless of the outcome, know that we will be there for you.
Hang in there and keep us posted please.
Anita

I have just got back from my u/s and I'm relieved to say this pregnancy is not another BO I am 6w5d and although a fetal pole wasn't seen yet these was definatley yolk in the sac. I have to go back in another week or two to see the fetal pole and heartbeat. I also haven't got my hcg levels yet, I go back to the gp on wednesday after having my final hcg test tomorrow. Morning sickness has also started to kick in, so I am feeling a lot better about this pregnancy now Thank-you all for your support ((hugs)) I was going out of my mind not knowing what was going on.
