First of all ((((hugs)))) to you. I know how stressful it can be not knowing what's going on. They can see signs of development pretty early but the question is always did they do the u/s too early for an embryo to be visible? Which is what you should hope for, I guess - that you actually conceived later (by a week or so) than you thought. I was dxd with a blighted ovum at 10 weeks - we did two more u/s to be sure, but that was what it was (didn't mean I didn't have my hopes dashed each time, tho). All it means is that the egg didn't have what it needed to become a fetus, but yet still managed to send out pg signals and grow a sack. Very frustrating, I know. I had morning sickness like youwouldn't believe and it was a real bummer to find out about that. Anyway, here's hoping that yours will grow in the next week. And as hard as this is to hear - other than doing the things you would do to be healthy in pregnancy anyway - there is nothing you can do (or could have done) to prevent a blighted ovum. Nothing. (((hugs)))) and prayers.

I went in for my first ultrasound the other day...And I could see the baby. He/she's really tiny about an inch or so not that big yet at all). But don't worry just keep hoping and keep your fingers crossed!

Hey marlie....I got the same thing. I can't remember when my pregnancy symptoms started and so when I went to the hospital last week and they said I was only 5 weeks pregnant (although I thought I was about 8 weeks) or had blighted ovum I was really gutted. I did my maths and couldn't work out which was more likely.

So, i'm looking at this sensibly....I really want this baby, but if things don't work out, I recon it's for a reason that I am not aware of.

Do you get slightly brown/pinkish discharge? I was told I was at 5 weeks, which would make it 6 weeks tomorrow. I have another scan on friday!!! I can't believe how long away that seems.


The other thing is...My boobs are getting so painful now, I really didn't sleep very well last night! Ho-hum....Another day closer to finding out...


I hope everything goes well for you and that we both get the news that we want!

Went to the hospital this morning and had a v.Scan. Saw our little alien...And the heartbeat. Very reassuring....But still keeping calm about the whole thing as we are only 6.5 weeks and aren't out of the woods yet.

Fingers crossed for you too.
