A member asked:

I've had 2 blighted ovums. will i have pregnancy complications next time?

No: The fact that you had 2 blighted ovums should not have a direct impact on a future pregnancy. However, a small number of patients with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss may have genetic, structural or hormonal issues that can impact future pregnancies as well.

Blighted Ovums: Blighted ovum is emotionally tough but they are also extremely common. About 40% of human pregnancies are blighted ovums. We do not think they are the same as a miscarriage that occurs later. You will get different opinions on what to do. I believe that you have a great chance for normal pg. An evaluation can cost $1000s so probably try again with 70-75% chance of delivery. Best wishes.

RPL & PG Comp.: Technically, rpl is when a woman has 3 miscarriages but we find the chance of problems after 2 losses. You should have an eval but beware that 50% have no diagnosis. I suggest get genetics of pg tissue if another loss. Rpl patients do have high risk pg when they finally succeed, so have your OB watch carefully.
