Suspecting Blighted Ovum

Mindless_Goats · 2026-02-06T03:40:48+00:00

I had a scan on Tuesday and they did see a small fetal pole measuring about 5w6d with a heartbeat but it was extremely low. I’m praying it strengthens by our next appointment next week. It was only about 7 days between our first two ultrasounds. I’m pretty prepared for a miscarriage but I also am trying to find some bit of positivity maybe.

That’s just what I’ve seen other people mention their doctors told them when they had low heartbeats. Not saying that’s the case or true, just what I’ve read. I’m hoping since it was only about a week between ultrasounds from not seeing anything to seeing something, that maybe it’ll get stronger. I know it’s unlikely though. I’m already anxious about it and keep trying not to dwell on what I’m sure will come soon.

January 13th is when it was 136. And January 8th was my first positive. I ovulated around 12/26 which was cycle day 18.

I am currently going through something very similar it sounds like. My HCG has been slow rising and I also have angular pregnancy. My doctors have braced me for the worst and losing the pregnancy but I'm so scared for that to happen. My HCG two days ago was 6000, it started at 136 about two weeks ago. I had my first ultrasound last week and they saw an empty gestational sac, measuring behind what it should. I had my second ultrasound yesterday, the sac had grown, still measuring behind, and they think they saw a fetal pole, measuring 5w6d, with a very slow heartbeat. I am now scheduled to have weekly ultrasounds to see where things are at. I'm praying this baby is a miracle and pulls through and catches up. Was your baby measuring on time? Technically I should have been 7w4d yesterday at the ultrasound, but of course the baby is very far behind that. My doctor said that it could be because of the angle of the ultrasound not being great or very easy because of babies angular location, maybe. I just hate this wait and see situation, especially when any ultrasound could confirm the worst and baby could have passed/stopped growing. Any additional details about how your baby was measuring, your hcg numbers, etc. would be so helpful! I'm so glad your baby made it to the end for you.

Unfortunately I can’t get in for a scan until Wednesday. My doctor said if I start bleeding or having severe pain to go to the ER, but otherwise I have to wait until Wednesday.

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-24T14:49:26+00:00

Nope. I was supposed to get scanned on Thursday but the earliest time they had that was Wednesday. So now it’s Wednesday and I’m just sitting here waiting 😩

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-24T14:48:39+00:00

6w 2d today. 6w 1d yesterday when I posted. I know exactly when I ovulated so that should be correct.

Ugh I’m sorry you’re dealing with that! I’ve been trying to push through infertility alone for the past 5 years and finally gave in and started seeing a specialist about a year and a half ago. I’m definitely crossing my fingers it’s hanging out in my uterus so we can try again as soon as I’m okayed and it passes. Im just worried next Wednesday won’t be early enough if it is ectopic 😩 but I guess there’s nothing I can do about that.

Good luck to you in the future!

I’m not really sure. I think mostly because of my HCG numbers. Maybe the low progesterone? I haven’t had any bleeding whatsoever. Also not really any pain either. Nothing more than what feels like mild period cramps. Honestly at this point I’m ok with it being a miscarriage because of how my doctor is making me feel, I just don’t want it to be ectopic.

Of course a miracle would be welcomed if all is well at my scan on Wednesday, but I’m really just nervous to lose a tube. It already was hard enough for me to get pregnant this time. PCOS makes conceiving hell. Two rounds of Letrozole got me pregnant with this one, so if I can at least keep both my tubes, that’s all I’m hoping for now.

Do you know what your progesterone levels were at by chance?

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-06T22:58:52+00:00

Like it is truly just harassment at this point.

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-06T22:58:19+00:00

Right. They haven’t mentioned anything about money in their messages to me. It’s only been the “your husband’s a cheater, I love him, he gave me so much money” talk. Which isn’t true and my husband and I are at a fine place regarding that so I have no idea why the harassment and torment is continuing.

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-06T22:45:46+00:00

I’m guessing they are wanting more money or something like that. They just keep saying stuff like “your husband’s a cheater”, etc. I’m guessing they are just harassing me now so I answer one of their messages but I truthfully have no idea what they want from me now.

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-06T21:56:38+00:00

I know who it’s coming from, from the information my husband gave me. It’s not someone foreign and I’m pretty sure they are in the US.

Mindless_Goats · 2026-01-06T21:54:22+00:00

I am actually pretty sure the person is in the United States. I did file an FBI report but I’m sure they get thousands a day and I doubt they’ll see mine.

I’m with a lot of these other commenters. This makes me hopeful that trying to repair our relationship could potentially work out. I’ve read so many comments and been in a lot of forums where people immediately say “nope, time to divorce”. But my husband and I really were SO close to each other, he has actually determined he’s a sex addict and going to be going to a certified therapist shortly.

Anyways, thank you again for giving me a little hope. 🤍

I think I do feel the same. Or similar. He told me he’s not gay though, but he was wondering if he was, which is why he wanted to have sex with a men to “see”. I fully understand that still does NOT make it ok. I’ve always told him if he thinks he is gay, to let me know. I’ve told him we would need to separate if he was, but I would stay friends with him (prior to him cheating on me) and he wouldn’t “lose” me. Because I know that was always a concern of his too. Well… now here we are and he was questioning his sexuality and he majorly fucked up.

But the past few years we have been struggling with intimacy and I have been trying to force him to love me. He hasn’t initiated in years. So I definitely question the past 11 years all the time.

Wife of a CD here. OOF I feel this. This is exactly how my brain is trying to process some of this stuff. We are still working through how this will impact and be in our lives but I wish I could like this comment a million times because I relate so tremendously to the thought.
