My second uss....bad news!!!
Had my scan this morning. They had to do an internal cos my bladder wasnt full enough to see anything in normal scan.
The sac hasnt grown any more than 2mm since last scan 2 weeks ago and although they detected a yolk sac today there is no baby.
They said they think although cant confirm yet that it was a blighted ovum, which they said is where the cells form the sac but not the baby, i think, to be honest I was so busy sobbing that I didnt take a lot in. They said that they can only confirm it when the sac measures 20mm or over and there is still no embryo, but my sac still only measures 13mm which is why they cant be sure. Im meant to be 8+4 today so by now there should have been a heartbeat and everything.
They gave me the option of either accepting it now and getting rid or waiting another 10 days for a scan and seeing if there has been any change. They said not to hold out much hope cos chancs are its not gonna happen and basically I have to wait until I miscarry. If I dont miscarry naturally then theyll have to look into taking it all away some other way.
I decided to wait for another scan even though deep down I know my baby isnt there, I still dont want to get rid just incase it miraculously grows. They said its a good sign that the yolk sac is now there cos thats what forms the placenta so something is going on but they dont think its anywhere near enough to form my baby.
I feel so devastated, does anyone know anything more about blighted ovum? Is the yolk sac there anything worth holding on to or should I just accept it now?
Any advice would be very much appreciated
Love
Amy

Like rachie said, is there a chance your dates are wrong?
I am hoping so much that everything will be ok for you.
Take care, NN xx
So even if were only going off my dates there should still of been a baby there when they scanned but both scans they have seen nothing.
Im still trying to remain positive but I darent get too positive cos Im scared to be told bad news again in 10 days.
Rachie, hope you dont mind me asking but what was your situation? Why did they tell you to prepare for the worst?
Pleased it all worked out in the end for you

Thanks so much for your story, i do have a little hope but i darent get too hopeful just in case, i ju7st would have thought that surely they wouldve seen something after 2 scans. She only did a quick internal yesterday, not as long as the first one and because my bladder wasnt full enough she couldnt do abdominal one so itsmaking me wonder if she actually looked properly.
Thanks again, fingers crossed, just wish i didnt have to wait another 2 weeks, its heartwrenching
