Blighted Ovum

From Wikipedi:a: An anembryonic gestation (aka blighted ovum) is a pregnancy in which the very early pregnancy appears normal on an ultrasound scan, but as the pregnancy progresses a visible embryo never develops.

Blighted ovum.  This is our diagnosis.  Our baby has not grown, or never even formed in the first place.

And so we wait for a miscarriage to take its toll.

I'm writing a full detail of the accounts of the past few days, but I'm not ready to post it right now.  Thanks for the love that has been sent so far.  It means a lot to know that you guys care.  Thank you.

  5. I have been where you are. In October I went through the exact same thing. It is so hard!! You question everything! Why did I even get pregnant for the baby to not even develop? Why did my body not recognize something was wrong and start to miscarry on its own? Why did I have to go through the week of torture and waiting? It is so unfair and there are no answers. Are you not getting any intervention to start the miscarriage? I would get misoprostol if I were you. Luckily, it will be much like a heavier period (if that is any consolation). I am so sorry you are going through this. You were so happy and excited. Sending you a big hug from Ontario!!!
