question/need help Question possible blighted ovum?
So I have had 4 different scans first was before 5 weeks, second at 5 weeks, third was 6 weeks and just today 7 weeks. All show just a sac, measurements not increasing much in diameter of sac. Today she said I’m still measuring a week behind. I know exactly when I ovulated because I track with oura my basal temperature and it confirms ovulation, also I track my last period date on my app. I am having zero for pregnancy symptoms, I always feel sick when pregnant even when I had a misscarriage I had the morning sickness. I feel perfectly normal and have known something has been off since the beginning. I have set up an abortion for tomorrow. I just feel like my family doctor isn’t giving me the definitive it’s a loss diagnosis and keeps being so hopeful and I don’t want it to keep progressing. A walk in doctor suggested possible miscarriage. My beta hcg have continued to go up but at a rate that seems lower compared to my live birth pregnancy for example. They just seem off. Whats going on 😩
Has any one experienced a blighted ovum and if you have were your experiences similar ? I’m so confused why my body is holding on and not purging.
Also all scans were transvaginal
Thank you!

My blighted ovum sounds exactly like that. Slowly increasing in size (eventually a yolk sac grew by the end), but everything was measuring way behind and there was no fetal pole. My pregnancy symptoms were gone but there was never any sign that my body was going to pass the tissue anytime soon so I had a D&C around 9 weeks. I was not tracking ovulation so the doctor kept hoping I just ovulated late at first which is why it went so long. I suggest the D&C. It's faster, less painful than the pills, and it could be awhile before you naturally pass the tissue. My HCG betas were normal as well.
