Specializes in Fertility Medicine

DO NOT DISPAIR!!!: At your age, and with your medical history, the probability of you having another baby is greatly in your favor! having a blighted ovum does not mean that there is anything wrong with you, it just means that that particular pregnancy was not a good one.
