Though it wasn't planned and it was quite a shock I got a 
on January 6th one day after my period was due to start. More then anything else I was just scared, I had had two previous miscarriages and my last pregnancy had been only a "chemical pregnancy".
I was extremely paranoid and right away went to a clinic to set up an ultrasound at the earliest time possible to verify the viability of the pregnancy, I needed to see for myself if anything was in there. They of course gave me a test which came back which was good enough for them to confirm I was pregnant.
My first ultrasound was scheduled for January 19th which would have put me at exactly 6 weeks from my last period. I can't describe how nervous I was going to that appointment, and when I saw the screen my heart just dropped it was just an egg there was nothing inside it. They did the measurements and it measured 4 weeks +1 they didn't seem concerned about the lack of baby because the egg was measuring so small they said it was still early and set me another appointment for two weeks later.
My second ultrasound was February 2nd exactly 8 weeks from my last period. Once again when I saw the screen I was devastated it was still just the empty egg that had only grown to 4 weeks +5. She mentioned that she should at the very least be seeing a yolk sack but the egg was clearly empty. She never actually diagnosed a blighted ovum but she did mention it and then asked if the pregnancy was planned and whether this loss would be a huge devastation. At this point I was numb she gave me a print out on miscarriage in case it happened before my next appointment and sent me home.
I have my next ultrasound scheduled for February 16th and am just waiting for the inevitable now. I fully expect to miscarry but the waiting is so much harder then I ever expected it to be I can't even mourn my baby becuase the loss hasn't become real yet. Hopefully sharing my story will help me to accept the loss and prepare to move on!
