Q: what are the chances of having a blighted ovum twice?

Recurrent Miscarriag: The risk of a first miscarriage is usually quoted at 15% but the risk increases with maternal age (30-60% over 40). The chance of another miscarriage increases from 15% to about 25-30% for the next pregnancy. On the flip side - thinking positively - the chance of success is very high 70-75%. A single miscarriage is common and most couples go on to have a normal pregnancy.

Question 1

Accepted Answer

No: The two issues are most likely unrelated.

Question 2

2 blighted ovums since august then diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism. lh surge 4/24 -hpt 5/4 +hpt 5/5. 6.3 week scan showed yolk sac. 7.3 week scan showed baby measuring 5 week 6 days with heartbeat but not measurable. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

:   Even with an "LH surge" on "4/24", actual fertilization may have occured between 4/26-29 with implantation on 4/30, which may account for the discrepancy between the 7.3 w scan and the 6.3w scan.  An U/S showing a size of 5w6d may also represent the technician's margin of error.  Viable fetal heart is an optimistic sign, as measurements are subject to human error.

Question 3

Blighted ovum: A blighted ovum is defined as a empty gestational sac. During the first trimester an intrauterine gestational sac is seen, but there is no evidence of a fetus. This most often is due to a chromosomal abnormality with the fetus.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Genetics: The vast majority of time it is a genetically abnormal embryos. Although both the sperm and the egg can contribute to this, usually it results from a problem related to the egg.

Question 8

what are my chances of having another blighted ovum?

Accepted Answer

Depends on testing: A blighted ovum means that that portion of the embryo that was to become the baby did not develop properly, but the portion that was to become the placenta did.  So you have rising hormone levels and even a gestational sac in the uterus, but the sac is 'empty'.  Older women with poor egg quality have higher chances of blighted pregnancy.  If there is no genetic issue with you, then <15% chance.
