Here is my story... we starting trying for baby #2 in 7/07. To our surprise, we did not get pregnant and time just flew by. We did Clomid monitored with our OBGYN after that for three months (and me being totally NUTS) we went in for an HSG and everything was normal. The RE started us on Femera and monitored me for IUI. When I didn't respond as well as they wanted them moved me to follistim & a trigger shot. After 3 failed IUI's we gave up. Because we already have DD - we didn't feel it financially responsible to spend the $ on IVF. So, we moved on. It took me a while but eventually I moved on from it. Well last month my period was late and I actually felt pregnant. So, even though I didn't want to, I took and test and to my complete shock it was +. I had a lot of pressure so I went in for a sonogram on what should have been 6 weeks - well I only measured at 4 weeks 5 days. I felt when they changed my EDD by 9 days something was off. I know it can vary but 9 just felt a little too much. I had some spotting on Sunday night and went to the doctor on Monday because I am RH- and needed my RhoGAM shot. They did an ultrasound and again should have been 6w1d according to the 'new' EDD - and measured 5w5d
I knew in my heart something was wrong. There was only a sac and not even a yolk sac. They took my blood and my HCG was 32K. The doc said at that level they should be able to see a baby and told me I had a blighted ovum. I go tomorrow for a follow up ultrasound to confirm and discuss options. At this point, I want to get this over with so we can start trying again. I had given up hope and now I want to be actively trying again. While we won't go back to an RE and just try on our own... I believe I should probably still be here as it has been 3 years and we still don't have our little bundle of joy!
