Blighted Ovum too early to diagnose?

[INfertilehope]

I have PCOS and my husband and I have been trying to concieve with fertility drugs and surgery for a year naturally before that for 6 months. On June 7 I had a withdrawl bleed via mexyprogesterone. On June 11th I had a surgery called Ovarian drilling. This is supposed to restore ovulation or at least make your ovaries react to the ovulation drugs making it possible to concieve. On June 26 I went in for my follow up and did a day 21 Progesterone to see if I had ovulated after the surgery like I should have. The test came back negative for ovulation leaving the doc to tell me the surgery didn't work. Well I should have gotten my period somewhere around the 7th of July. But when I had no sympthoms I took a pregnancy test just in case and it was negative as I suspected it would be. On the 8th I took another one and it was still negative. Yet something told me not to take the mexyprogesterone to start a period. On July 15th I took another test and got the faintest positive I have ever seen. I almost didn't believe it was true. I went in to my doctor who told me it was impossible and I wasn't pregnant. But she drew a beta and it was 212. Very positive for pregnancy. Yet very low. She assumed I was very early on. Which I assumed the same thing being that I could not have sex for two weeks after the surgery. I had cramping so I went to the ER they did an ultrasound that dated me at 6wk1day which could not be possible as I stated before because I was not having sex after my surgery. They saw a gestestional sac measuring 13.3mm and a yolk sac measuring 3.42mm and told me that it was a blighted ovum and i had a choice to make. Does this seem to early for this diagnoses. Sorry for the ramble but we have tried and tried and I can't imagine a dissapointment like this.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused with the dates. How far along do you think your supposed to be?

I have my fingers crossed for you x

I should be about 5 weeks but the early scan says I'm six weeks. which is fine but he told me its a blighted ovum because all he can see is a yolk sac and a gest sac... but it all measures in a good range for six weeks so i'm confused as to why he would tell me this. I thought that blighted ovums didnt have a yolk sac

Hello, I was told I had little hope after an u/s at 6+3 showed just a gest sack & yolk sack, but went back a week later to be sure and there was my little bean with flutter of a heartbeat. I was told the worst so was shocked when it turned out ok - the little one was just tucked right up tight at the side of the gest sack and they couldn't see it.
I would definitely ask for another scan in a week or so's time before you make any decisions! Good luck xxx

I had a blighted ovum in March, but was told because there was a sac but nothing in it. This I thought, is what a blighted ovum is? Since you have a sac with something in it then why did she diagnose that?

a blighted ovum is an empty gestational sac like said above. im not sure why they have told you you had a blighted ovum. that is not right of them... get another scan in 1 week. if all is well i would most def make a complaint. good luck hun

I had a BO a year ago, and @ 7 weeks by my LMP (6 weeks by O), I had a completely empty sac, but my hormone levels were in the 20,000 range. Your's doesn't sound like a BO. You could still be having a MC, but I would think that you would want a repeat scan just to make sure.

In contrast, I had a scan @ 5 weeks with this one and had a yolk sac, but no fetal pole, went back @ 7 weeks and had a fetal pole with heart beat.

HI I had a blighted ovum in may, 12 weeks along no sign of heart beat or yolk sac. I was told that they would not and could not do anything until i had waited a week and had another scan to see if there were any changes or if i had mc naturally. only then would i need to make any decisions. I think you need to wait before anything is decided and deff have another scan xx
