blighted ovum again - 3rd time?

[taylor15]

So here's my question.  i had a blighted ovum 4 and half years ago.  There was no baby and no yolk sac at the 12th week ultrasound and on 13th week I miscarried.  Then 6 months later, I got pregnant again and have a wonderful daughter.  Recently i have been trying to get pregnant.  I got pregnant with all the symptoms except nausea and of course thought that I am one of the lucky one.  I went for my 8th week u/s and once again nothing.  No yolk sac and no heart beat.  I was devastated thought why is god punishing me.  I had read that it is really rare to have blighted ovum twice.  Anyway, i am pregnant again - 5 weeks today.  Once again i have no nausea this time and it is absolutely driving me nuts.  I can't go through this again.  I read that it is highly unlikely to have blighted ovum consecutivly but then again I fall under the rare ones.  My doc won't see me until I am 8 weeks and still I convinced them to give me an appt at 7 weeks.  I am going out of my mind.  I have sore breasts, fatigue, frequent urination, implantation bleeding but no nausea. With my daughter I did have nausea.  
Has anyone had blighted ovum 3 times?  Thank you ladies for letting me vent.  My husband won't understand exactly what i am going thorough and granted i am an emotional wrack rightnow.  It is long weekend and I can't seem to think of anything else but this.  Any comments would be appreciated.

hi taylor. i am in the same position as you are now.  i've had 2 blighted ova before i was recommended to an immunologist. she prescribed aspirin and folic acid w/c ive been taking for a year before i got pregnant again.  this third one though, is still with me, but the doctors suspect it as another blighted ovum. we're all awaiting the docs final decision on the 1st of june, through scans if it is another BO or if it has developed.  the docs say not to get my hopes up high though.  

i know what you are going through cos i too have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past week.  i am coping though by hoping for the best but expecting the worst.  that's how i deal with it at least.  

i also find it hard that people can easily pinpoint my being so active, outgoing and funny (or can't keep still, allergic to the term bed rest) as the reason why i cant have a baby. i think it's hard to be a clown, at times. i just think people may have the best intentions for us but do not have the right words for it.  they should have just lent a comforting shoulder and a listening ear.

hope we can cope with this and move on to the next chapters of our lives. there's still more things to look forward to in life! more things to learn, see and do!

So ladies,, I am going for my 7 week ultrasound today.  I am nervous as heck,,,, I am counting time in minutes and seconds.  Can’t stop looking at the clock…
No matter what angle I try to prepare my self for the worst I can’t somehow.. I know if I get  bad news today, I won’t be able to handle it.   I am really really praying for the good outcome….   Uhhhhhh,,, it is so hard..

[taylor15]

Sorry Annie,, I didn't get the joke,, dhuhhhhhhhhhh on my part....  i am just trying to think whatever god's wish is.. i will just let the chips fall,, but it is easier said then done... As for mom2nji, i can only imagine having 6 miscarriages.. omg.. how many were blighted ovums?

[taylor15]

Hummm,, I see what you are saying mom2nji.  I wish there was a tool that you could pee on to get your hcg levels.  I guess bloodtest is the only way.
I may call doc's office tomorrow to get my bloodwork done.

[mom2nji]

I get what Annie is saying watching the tests get darker can be reassuring. I just had my second blighted ovum/6th miscarriage two weeks ago. You can get a better idea if it is a blighted ovum by tracking hcg, if your number are not doubling, but still rising it is an indication of one. You have to ask your doctor for blood tests though.
As for the nausea, I havent ever had it.

I was reacting to you saying you were going out of your mind and an emotional wreck right now.  I thought that peeing on a test every morning and getting a positive would provide reassurance.

[taylor15]

Thanks Annie.  I don't know how peeing on all those tests would help.  I mean i know i am pregnant but.....
Anyway, it is funny that it could be a different gender,, didn't think of that.. interesting.. thanks a bunch for posting.

I never had morning sickness.  Some say you do or do not get morning sick with one gender or the other, maybe that is what is going on for you.  (Trouble is, they say it about both genders.  My mom never got morning sick and she had all girls, and I didn't get morning sick and I had a boy.  LOL)  Anyway, get a bunch of Dollar Store tests and pee on one every morning.  It will make you feel better.  Good luck!
