Risk of miscarriage: You are not at risk of a second miscarriage any more than if you didn't have the loss. The chances of having a second blighted ovum are low.

Yes and yes: You are at a higher risk, but u may be fine, so see your OB so they can do bhcg and prog level and us should show a sac at 5 weeks and a htbeat at 6+ weeks.
