Blighted Ovum?
k
Posted 06-02-23
Recently found out I was pregnant, I’m maybe 6 or 7 weeks. Had brown spotting on and off that turned into bright red light bleeding. Got bloodwork done my HCG was 688 then 2250 two days later. Yesterday more blood so went to ER waited 6 hours and left w/o seeing a doctor as my 6 month old waiting with me was having a meltdown. Anyway today I passed some clots and what I think is a Blighted Ovum? A clear fluid filled sac. Just researched it cause I’ve never even heard of this before. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

BabyCenter StaffPosted 06-03-23I've not had that myself. I found an article about it on our site but it didn't really describe anything like that so I'm not sure: https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy/health-and-safety/early-pregnancy-failure-blighted-ovum_1355753Opens a new window
Have you had a chance to talk to your own doctor about it? They might be able to give you more info than they ER can.
- Yes that is exactly what that is...I just passed one myself on the 30thAdvertisement | page continues below
Last edited 06-03-23Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I would show this photo to your OB and ask. Did they say you had a BO? Did the ER do an ultrasound?- kKelseysMommyNov2022 Original PosterPosted 06-03-23KRAMV said:

That’s an interesting read thank you.

And yes I would say that’s the amniotic sacThank you 😞. And yeah figured that’s the only thing it could be.

And no ER didn’t do an ultrasound only blood work. I had to leave because my LO was freaking out. I do have a private u/s booked for tomorrow to make sure everything has passed.
