Successful Pregnancy immediately after blighted ovum/d&c?
I got my BFP on December 1st. It was my second pregnancy and we were ecstatic and despite the usual "wait till the second trimester to tell everyone"...we told EVERYONE. Thing seemed fine. Uneventful. Nausea every now and then and sore breasts. Then December 22 I went pee and saw a dark red streak of blood in my cervical mucus. I felt like it was nothing but decided to call the doctor and act like it was worse JUST to get a sonogram done and get a peep at my little baby.
December 23rd. I got up all excited, but still a little nervous. I went in and laid back. Since I was supposed to be 9 weeks they did an internal ultrasound. I laid there watching the screen and all seemed normal except I couldn't see the baby. I felt like maybe that was a bad sign, but I was hopeful and kept watching the screen. Nothing.
They sent me in to talk to the doctor and I bawled like a baby while she cooly sat there and told me it was a blighted ovum. I felt like I was dying inside.
I had a d&c done that same night (the 23rd) and yesterday there was minor spotting when I used the restroom. Now today nothing. I feel normal. There is still a strange feeling of being...empty I guess. I had to tell everyone at Christmastime that the little gift that was all I wanted decided to go to heaven before I got to meet him.
Sorry I am writing a novel but this is all piling up on me so fast.
I just want to hear about people who are in the same situation or were and conceived immediately after a D&C as in before they even got a period. I need some companionship through this. My husband is trying to be supportive but he doesn't understand the turmoil I'm going through.
Another baby would make me feel like I'm doing something again.
Stories would be great.

I'm in the exact same situation! I got my BFP Nov 12, 2016 went in for my first ultrasound December 9th nothing just the egg and yolk sac I should have been 7 weeks. Blood tests show 15,000 3 days later 16,100. I was scheduled December 27th for second ultrasound. Started light bleeding December 23 at 11:30 at night so I drove myself to the ER after ultrasound that showed nothing and blood tests showing levels dropped to 7,000 I was devastated. Got home around 3:45 in the morning of Christmas Eve just to have to wake my husband and let him know I was having a miscarriage. I officially am in full swing of the miscarriage no d&c. I know exactly what you went through.

I am 30 and I was in the exact same situation couple of months ago. I got my BFP on Nov 24th, 2016. Went to the doc on December 19th and had an ultrasound on the same day. I only had a gestational sac. No yolk sac or Fetal pole. I was told I could be early so I went back after a week and still saw no Fetal pole or yolk sac. By then, I had started to spot already. The doc said i could either opt for a d and c or wait to miscarry naturally. But then I was rushed to the ER the same evening on the 3rd of Jan 2017 as I started to bleed too heavily and had such painful cramps that i have no words to describe. They found a Haemorrhage of the size of a ping pong ball that was caught between my Uterus and Cervix. Anyway, i got through the procedure the same day and I have successfully completed two menstrual cycles. We are trying again now but i would like to know if there are any tips anyone followed to have a successful pregnancy after a blighted ovum. I am worried that i may end up with another episode of a blighted ovum. is there anything i must/ must not do to have a healthy baby?
P.S - I am already taking Folic acid and eating healthy

Congratulations for the good news...
You know even I was pregnant and was told by doctors that I only have sac and the bay inside it never formed just 3 days back.They have advised to get the surgery done.I am very scared to death as I have never been to hospital before. The only thing I am scared of is if I will be able to conceive after the surgery and all...
This was my first pregnancy and I was already 7 weeks pregnant when doctor told me this.
I am heart broken.

Hi there, I had a similar situation 2 years ago. I found out I was pregnant in Feb 2008, I had some cramping but nothing serious, at 6 1/2 weeks I started spotting, I went into the ER and they checked my HCG and did an u/s. The HCG came back at 68, and nothing was showing on the u/s. The did laprascopic surgery that day because they thought it was a tubular pregnancy..(turns out it wasnt) and I miscarried 2 days later. I conceived my 1 1/2 year old daughter 2 weeks later, found out I was pregnant 3 1/2 weeks after miscarriage. I dont think the doctors advise trying again so early, but I was set and determined to conceive, and I did. I had a happy and healthy 9 months. Congratulations to you!!!
My first pregnancy went well but was from the worst man in the world, he was abusive in everyway. I am now married to the man of my dreams been trying to concieve for a year. Got pregnant on the Honey moon June 2010 then December 2010 bother were blighted oviums and I needed to have a D&C. I am broken, depressed, my husband has no children and we desperatly want a child of our own he is a great father to my 4 year old. I am wondering is it possible for me to concieve again sucessful we are 27, sacred, depressed and angry. Has any one had a sucessful pregnancy after 2 blighted oviums? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Is it possible that my husband has a fertility issue
Yay!! I love to hear these stories. It gives me so much hope since my numbers are off.
Hey everyone. I am back with good news. I found out yesterday that I am already pregnant. It's been 5 weeks and 2 days since my D&C and I got a + HPT yesterday midday. Today they did blood work to confirm and later on today I'll have an idea of how far along we are!

My wife and I went through the blighted ovum/miscarriage back in August. We got married last June and got pregnant on the honeymoon. She has two children from a previous marriage, but this was to be my first. Everything seemed ok, although she had more cramping and abdominal pain than what I deemed to be normal. We had our first appointment at around 8 weeks, but they did not schedule an ultrasound until week 12.
We went in for the ultrasound, and I was so excited (had the video camera and everything) and when the tech turned on the screen, her first words were "How far along are you?" We told her 12 weeks. She spent 3 or 4 minutes searching every inch of my wife's uterus, and finally she found the empty gestational sac. My heart sunk into my shoes. I have never been so heart broken before in my life. It hit me harder than it hit my wife. Your husband may not show it, but I'm sure he's devastated too.
We asked a million questions, and her OB is great. She elected to have the D&C because she still felt pregnant, and didn't want to continue to feel that way until her body naturally miscarried. Unfortunately for her, she had to have 2 of them (a week apart due to an infection in some tissue that was missed).
We were told by her doctor to wait at least 3 cycles before we tried again. We didn't try the first time. Well, here we are January 19, 2010 and her LMP was December 3, 2009. Her cycle returned to normal in October, and without trying we got pregnant immediately following her 3rd cycle. We are not getting too excited yet. We have our first appointment on January 29 (8 weeks) and they will be doing an ultrasound then. When I hear that heart beat and see that baby on the screen, then my fears will subside.
But just be patient and give yourself time to grieve. We are both very spiritual people and just decided that God would bless us when He felt the time was right.
You want to make sure you give your uterus time to heal before getting pregnant again, if you don't you could end up with another early pregnancy failure.
Good luck!

I now how you feel the same thing happened to me and I had a d&c done jan 8. I am so ready to start ttc again, the dr told us to wait until I have 1 normal period. I go back for my 2 week check up on the 22 and I am going to ask if I really have to wait that long. I have been reading on the internet and it seems that if your body is ready you will get pregnant again and not have any problems....keep me informed on how you are doing....it is nice to know that I am not alone.
Thanks for the reply, that gives me hope. I am worried that not waiting may be a bad idea, but at the same time I hear of people waiting and then they miscarry anyways. I am glad that you conceived and are having a healthy pregnancy! I'm very jealous of you to be honest.
I went through a blighted ovum this time last year(mid December), however I didnt have a D&C and the miscarriage finally ended in January naturally. I conceived again in May, (4months later) and am currently 34 weeks on monday. I have heard of people conceiving right away after having a D&C done. My mother recommended that I have it done, and that it would speed up conception again. I don't really know how accurate that is.
I know your pain, and am so sorry for your loss. I was desperate to conceive again and the four months it took seemed like a lifetime! Although I am having a baby again, the loss of the first one crosses my mind all the time and still hurts to this day. I don't think that, that will change but it does soften.
My hubby was supportive, aswell as my friends and family, but I honestly didnt feel that they truely understood the heartache. I know that I never really understood how devestating a miscarriage is until I actually went through one myself.
If you ever need to talk feel free to msg me.
Take Care and God Bless!
Was this your first Pregnancy?
