i was able to concieved last year but had a d&c due to blighted ovum at 8 weeks.does that mean that i am capable of being pregnant and need not worry that i have a fertility problem? my husband and I has been trying for 3 months already and no luck yet. is it also an assurance that there's nothing wrong with my husband's fertility?

I'm thinking you mean a "blighted ovum". I have three children, and had two miscarriages. One for that reason. You can search "WebMD" for more information, but I'm certain you can become pregnant again. The most important thing, but the most difficult is to try to stay relaxed about it.
One person said the most beautiful thing to me after all the ignorant things like "you're young, you can get pregnant again", "it's God's will" blah, blah, blah. Give yourself time to grieve the loss of all the hopes and dreams you had for this child. She told me that my "miscarriage" was my angel visiting me to come live my life with me so that she was better able to understand me and when I needed her. I have always thought what a lovely and wonderful thing. If either of my miscarriages would not have happened, I would probably not have the same two younger children. They are such great little souls, I can't imagine life without them.
So relax, love and enjoy your husband. When your baby comes, your world changes forever and you can't go back.

Oh sweetie, I almost cried when I read your question. I had lost a pregnancy of twins due to a blighted ovum so I know how you feel. I had a D&C as well. Rest assured, YOU CAN CONCIEVE. I got pregnant about four months after that miscarriage and have a perfect 3 month old baby girl now. More women lose babies due to blighted ovum then your think. It is not uncommen and does not mean you will never have children. I know it is hard to go through that terrible loss, but be patient. Relax. You will concieve when your body is ready. Have fun with it. Make love to your husband with NO stress involved and you will have a baby sooner than you think. I will pray for you! Good luck!!!

Fret not and dont lose heart. Just keep trying. It happened to me too. Then I had two more miscarriages due to Luteal phase defect (not enough progesterone, ironically). I also had a d&c with the blighted. I kept trying. My daughter will be turning one on monday and I couldnt love her more. You're not infertile. If you got pregnant once, you can do it again. It took me a year and 3 miscarriages, then progesterone supplements the first tri to get me to the finish line; but I did it. (Incidently, doc says luteal happened because I got preggers too soon after 1st miss. Body never got the chance to get back on track. So, I'm hoping it will be easier when we start trying for #2. : ) Anyway, girl, dont give up. You'll be happy you didnt some day. Finally, a little piece of info that you might find reassuring: docs dont consider a couple to potentially have a fertility problem until after they've been trying a year with no luck. A blighted, though it was not a viable pregnancy, damn cells just didnt divide right, things got outta hand and got all messed up, it is STILL a pregnancy. You can do it again. Blighted is just pure dumb bad luck. It had nothing to do with your or your husbands genetics nor fertility. The frequency of occurance is very low. So, the chances are minute that it will happen again. Hang in there. You'll fill your arms if you dont let this break your spirit.
Determination, Diligence, Drive, Persistence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The term blighted ovum is now referred to as early pregnancy failure. It can happen in early pregnancy just naturally and DOES NOT mean that there is anything wrong with you or your husband.
The following is part of the information from a source I am attaching:
Does having a blighted ovum once mean I'm likely to miscarry again?
No. Although you're likely to be worried about the possibility of another miscarriage, fertility experts don't consider a single early pregnancy loss to be a sign that there's anything wrong with you or your partner. Most practitioners will wait until you've had two or three consecutive miscarriages to order special blood and genetic tests to try to find out what's going wrong.

I had a miscarriage in June because of a Blighted Ovum. I was only 5 or 6 weeks along, so luckily everything cleared out without needing a D&C. Although I was heartbroken, my Doc was excited and said "This means you are able to get pregnant...a lot of women can't even get to this stage!" That helped me to feel better. Keep your head up!

I know exactly how you feel! I miscarried in January at 8 weeks, and now I'm six weeks pregnant and so scared to go to the doctor. I was reading online that it isn't that good to have an ultrasound before twelve weeks so I am just going to figure than if I miscarry, I will miscarry, and I would rather not wait to miscarry if the doctor says I might on the ultrasound. So I am taking one day at a time right now. I am six weeks one day:) Good luck to you and I know how hard it would be if it happened again but you can't worry yourself it will only give you a higher chance of miscarrying. I have a friend who had three miscarriages, and went on to have two healthy babies a year later. Good luck!
