Another blighted ovum

I had an early scan today and only an empty sack was there at 7 weeks, this happened before. Of 5 times I had positive tests, only one healthy baby came up and is my best achievement in life but this is so tiring. I thought I was lucky to fall pregnant again as soon as we decided to start trying after our baby. I was feeling ready, even though it would be harder with a toddler around but I knew I would manage. I was keeping my hopes down because of my past experience and yesterday I saw a pink shade when wiping and I knew what was about to come. The scan was already booked. Everyone was telling me not to overthink beforehand, I kind of know how this works. Even though I was mentally preparing for it, still it hurts. Still I feel like a failure, that I couldn’t produce a healthy egg this time to grow healthy inside of me and knowing it is not in my control is possibly the worst part because I am doing all the “right” things but my chances are low. Recurrent miscarriage even makes the statistics look worst. I am sure others will relate to this post and I hope we can all have the healthy babies we have tried so hard for.

Sending so much love, and I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Although the reassurance that you can get pregnant and implant is a positive thing, the hell of it not working out long term is so so tough. I’ve had one miscarriage and I can’t imagine the elation and anxiety if I’m fortunate again. Our eggs have been in storage a long time in our 40s, it isn’t anything you are doing wrong as I’m sure you know, but just a reminder. By doing all the right things now is how you are getting pregnant as you’ve created an environment that optimal for growth, it’s just that good egg you are searching for. Hang in there! 🖤

Really sorry to hear this, I’ve have also experienced this it’s just awful. My thoughts are with you ❤️
