I just want to hear other women's stories on ttc immediately after a D&C due to blighted ovum.

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 am sorry for your loss. It is the worst feeling I have ever had to stare at the screen and see nothing. I am sorry that anyone has to go through that. My loss was at 7 weeks but I didn't have a D&C. I didn't get preg again right away. My doctor told me to wait three cycles before trying again. I waited and it took 3 cycles after I waited to get preg again. I used Clomid on the third cycle and it worked. I hope you are able to get preg right away because it does help ease the pain a bit...at least it did for me. I am 21 weeks today.  ~*~*Sending tons of hugs and sticky baby dust your way!*~*~

I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that, especially during the holidays.  All of the ladies here know the pain of a loss.  I had a m/c at 8 weeks, but it was natural and not a D&C.

My husband and I have been diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" so unfortunately it has been over a year since our loss and we are still trying.  But don't let me discouarge you; lots of women get pg right away after a loss!

If you have any questions, or need to vent, please don't hesitate at all!  It is comforting to be surrounded by women who have/do feel the exact same emotions as yourself.  Our husbands try the best they can, but sometimes it's helpful for a woman to share your point of view.
