Hi, I'm Nickie and I have a daughter named Lorna who's 14 months old. Back in January I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. I was absolutely heartbroken, but jumped back in the saddle and ttc again.

I did get pregnant again, and in fact as of today I'm technically 6 weeks 4 days. But today I went in for my first u/s and all they found was an empty 5 week sac. There is NO way my dates could be off as we didn't DTD from the day I ovulated until the day I tested positive. But they are making me wait 10 days for a repeat u/s anyway before they'll do the DNC.

I really thought that the first one was just a fluke as I got pg with my daughter quickly and had a trouble-free pregnancy. But now with 2 blighted ovums within 4 months, it seems that there is something wrong with me.

Oh, and I'm still breastfeeding my daughter and I know that they will probably tell me to wean "just in case" but there's no evidence I've ever seen that breastfeeding can prevent a pregnancy from developing (it just can keep you from getting pg in the first place) and my daughter is no where near ready to wean, so I'm leaning towards giving it one more shot. The idea of her asking to nurse and me refusing her just breaks my heart as she's not old enough to understand.

Anyway, I guess I'm here with you gals now.

Hey I am soo sorry for your loss. I too went in for an u/s and saw an empty sac. I was prepared for the worst when I went for the follow up 2 weeks later but I held on to some hope. Don't let go completely until you know for sure. We are here for you. I wouldn't worry about the bfding. I know girls who bf throughout their whold pregnancies.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I was diagnosed with a b/o in March as well. Total shock for us. Cause, like you, I got pregnant with DD fast, and had a healthy pregnancy, and never thought I'd have any issues. We got pregnant again right away in January, and then found out about the b/o. I can't tell you how scared I am to have that happen again. The image of the empty sac is forever etched in my mind, and I can't imagine going through it twice. My heart goes out to you. And if I were you, I would ask the doctor about some possible testing. Cause I don't think bf would have anything to do with a b/o.
I told DH that if I do experience another, I probably won't try to get pregnant again after that...simply because I know that I can't go through it multiple times. Not without answers from the doctor, more than just "it's just bad luck."

I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

Don't give up hope yet. Maybe in 10 days you will get to see a sweet little bean with a heartbeat. Good luck and i hope everything turns out for the best.
