Problems conceiving after miscarriage (blighted ovum)

posted 9th Jan
I had a miscarriage (blighted ovum) in August 2011. Instead of a D&C or waiting it out, the doctors prescribed me pills (don't remember the name) that are normally used to treat ulcers when taken orally, but when stuck up ones hooha they make the uterus contract and push out the contents. My boyfriend and I have recently started actively trying to conceive, and nothing. It worries me because I was a preemie baby and I happened to stumble upon a site saying women born prematurely can have infertility problems 0.o it really has me freaked out now. I have also never heard of anyone else using the method to take care of the "tissue" that I used. I didn't want to wait it out because I was extremely upset that I was still having symptoms with no little bugger in there   so I needed closure and didn't want to do a D&C as they worded it in a scary way saying that since the uterus is softer in pregnancy if I were to choose a D&C they could accidentally stab through the uterus and pierce other organs. The pill thing worked fine they prescribed me Percocet for the pain (it was definately needed didn't expect it to be that intense) but it has also made me wonder recently if maybe it may have a part in my troubles conceiving. I was doing some research and from what I can gather if I can have a blighted ovum, I can get pregnant. You have to get pregnant to have a blighted ovum. So I don't know what the deal is. Has anyone else had problems conceiving after having a mc? A lot of people say you are most fertile right after a mc but to be honest the experience was a bit tramatizing and I wasn't ready to try again right after, but now, a year and 5 months later, I am. Soo kinda missed the super fertile window....

I had a blighted ovum in July. It took me 4months to get pregnant again, almost 5.. I am pregnant now but having way more symptoms. I wont know if its viable until January 21st or if I dont start bleeding by then. I am 8 weeks tomorrow. I started bleeding at the beginning of week 9 last time. Im not sure if I answered your question or not but I was able to conceive afterwards. Toom me almost a year all together including the loss

I also had a miscarriage due to a blighted ovum in July 2011. We have been actively TTC since August 2011 and no luck... I have had fertility issues in the past though. Good luck mama, hope it happens soon for us both!

**ETA** oops, I meant 2012. The new year has me all screwed up!

We haven't been actively trying for long, but (as strange as it sounds) condoms give me UTI's I had them almost every 2 weeks for about 3 years. We stopped using them and that is when I got pregnant on accident with the resulting blighted ovum. It just seems strange that there have been no scares and now that we are trying nothing is happening...... My boyfriend is scared he is infertile, I am scared I am. Its a mess. Neither of us are overweight, I am a bit underweight but I eat a LOT just have a very fast metabolism, we don't smoke, we only drink occasionally like MAYBE 3 times a year. Tops. It just seems so many other women smoke drink do drugs all that business, and they have a FEW kids   just makes me feel like maybe something is wrong....

You're both probably fine. I know everyone always says when you quit trying, or aren't thinking about it, that's when it will happen. I can definitely attest to that being true in my case. I tried for 2 years to get pregnant with my son and ended up doing injections and an IUI which resulted in my pregnancy with him. The blighted ovum was a slip up of BCP, so a complete accident. Since then we've been trying and nothing... So I know it definitely helps to have a clear head. Just try your best to relax. And trust me, I know how that seems nearly impossible!

Don't give up. I suffered from a blighted ovum november 2011. And had a mmc in march 2012. I was told I couldn't have kids because I've got a blood disorder (high iron) and "O" negative blood type. But guess what?! I'm pregnant! Ten weeks friday yay. And you're right, if you got pregnant once it'll happen again just have faith!!
