It was discovered that I had a blighted ovum miscarriage, through an ultrasound, when I was 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant, on the 1st of Feb this year. This was the most painful thing I have ever had to go through, it absolutely broke my heart.
I had some brown spotting when I was 7 weeks pregnant, and again when I was 9 weeks pregnant, and I was constantly pressuring my doctor's to let me have an ultrasound. They didn't order one, until I was due for my 12 week nuchal fold scan.
The day after I found out about my miscarriage, I was booked in to have a D&C, as my body was unable to pass the products of conception naturally. It was an absolutely tormenting experience, and I remember waking up and screaming for my husband. As the D&C was only day surgery, I was allowed to go home that day. The next few days I spent in bed, too depressed to do much else.
It wasn't until I started getting dizzy, hallucinating a bit, and starting getting sharp contraction-like cramps in my abdomen that I went back to the doctors. I spent a week in hospital, very ill, on a drip with antibiotics being pumped into me, and nothing could make me feel physically better. The day that my doctors decided to send me for another ultrasound, I was unable to get out of bed by myself, and I had been vomiting. The results of the ultrasound showed that the doctor who did the first D&C didn't remove all of the products of conception. The next day, I was scheduled to have another D&C, and I started to feel physically much better.
Emotionally, it has been a tough journey. I'm getting there though.
In the hospital, I was told that if I have an infection in my uterus (which thankfully I did not), that they weren't sure if my fertility would be harmed. I was however told, that after having a D&C, or a miscarriage, women can often conceive easier, because the lining of their uterus is thin and fresh. I was advised to wait one full menstrual cycle before trying again. I became pregnant the first month I tried again. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant, with a little girl who is due in December, and I could not be happier.

A blighted ovum is often a one time occurrence and rarely will a women experience more than one. Most doctors recommend couples wait at least 1-3 regular menstrual cycles before trying to conceive again after any type of miscarriage.
My following pregnancies were fine...I waited for 4 months the first time...the next time was 6 years...not by choice...lol...I just didn't get pregnant.

I had 3 blighted ovum m/c in a row, disappointingly enough, but went on to carry my daughter to term after becoming p/g only 3 mths after the last m/c. Had 2 more m/c when she was about 2yrs old, but again, conceived my son no more than a mth (yes, really!) after the last m/c and he is 2 1/2yrs old now.
It's a terrible thing to go through and very hard on you emotionally and physically. My heart goes out to you. I hope someday you will be in my position, writing something positive to someone in need.
Good luck. Try to keep a support system in your life.
