Hi all,
Just found out yesterday during checkup @ 9weeks no heartbeat found. The last checkup @ 7 weeks, my Gynae saw some fetal heart activity but couldn't pick up any sounds. He said it looked like I was only 5 weeks going by the size of my sac and fetal pole measurement so my dates could be way off. but he was sure he saw fetal heart activity. Yet now he is telling me it is a blighted ovum??
I had a blighted ovum case in apr 2012, miscarried naturally @ 8 weeks, got pregnant after 9 months of trying and delivered a healthy gal in Oct 2013, got pregnant (unplanned) again a year later but lost the baby in nov 2014 @ 6 weeks. Started spotting, went in to doc and saw strong heartbeat. Doc said could be threatened abortion so gave me a jab and ordered bed rest. But I miscarried 12hrs later naturally. They didn't think I needed tests since it was only my 2nd time and I had a healthy baby before. So I took some time off and decided to try again this year.
Sadly, this will be my 3rd M/c. I'm turning 36 and starting to worry if there's something wrong with me. Doc asked me to go in for D&C next week to prevent infection and he will send in for pathology tests to see wat went wrong. I would like to get a 2nd opinion though I know my hopes aren't high. Any recommendations for good gynaes who specializes in complicated pregnancies?
