Q: need hope stories - possible blighted ovum at 7weeks

I'm 7 weeks and they can see the gestational sac only. No yolk sac, no fetal pole, no embryo. She said the sac was perfectly shaped and high in the uterus. There were 3-4 flickery dots like things inside the sac which she said might be a yolk sac or fetal pole that was trying or had tried to form. They did an hcg blood test that will be back tomorrow and I go for another ultrasound in a week.

She said she has seen these turn around and end up being vital pregnancies and that it could "go either way". I asked if the baby just wasn't easy to find in the ultrasound and her response was that the equipment was very accurate. I had one tiny bit of spotting last week and have had minor cramping since the beginning, which can be signs of normal pregnancies.

Have others had threatened blighted ovums that turned around at this point? The waiting is obviously very hard.

I can feel you, i had blighted ovum last 3 months ago i had scan at 5 weeks back then to see if its ectopic and no sac found, had scan after 2 weeks and no sac found again, after a week ( 8 weeks pregnant) we had a scan and saw a gestational sac only .. then radiologist said that it was a blighted ovum but we are very hopeful and had scan again after a week and saw a gestational sac shrunken and after 5 days i miscarried naturally... I can feel you my dear, i hate the waiting game also but dont worry theres always hope.. i got pregnant after a month i miscarried naturally and everything looks fine..i am praying for you...
