Hi Ladies. I had a missed miscarriage earlier in the year when the fetus stopped developing at around 6 weeks and there was no heartbeat. I found out at 8 weeks and at 12 weeks I had a D & C because the natural miscarriage wasn't happening. Fast forward to now, I'm supposed to be 8 weeks 2 days pregnant since my last period date. I had my first ultrasound at about 5 weeks due to light spotting which didn't really show anything but a thick uterine lining because it was too early. A week later a sac measuring 3.5 mm was seen on a transvaginal u/s. Another week and a half later (so at a little over 7 weeks since LPD), the dr saw a sac of 5.5 mm but she said it was empty. I was also spotting for a few days at that point, but very little and just brown blood. The Dr said unfortunately the pregnancy is not viable since the sac is empty aka blighted ovum and that I will probably miscarry within a week. She didn't recommend a D & C this time because the loss is early in the pregnancy and plus I had 2 D & Cs for missed miscarriage already. I also have a healthy 2-year-old daughter and had a perfect pregnancy with her. So at this point, nothing is happening. The spotting had pretty much stopped the past 2 days and I have no cramps or pain. I hate being in this limbo and not knowing when I will have the miscarriage. Has anyone had an experience with a blighted ovum and can share how long it took them to naturally miscarry? The wait is driving me crazy. TIA
