I'm new to this - so hello girls. my story - i suffered a blighted ovum in april this year and did not know until i went for a private scan. as it was my first pregnancy i didn't know if what i was feeling was right or not so to get told my pregnancy wasn't viable at my scan was heart breaking.. A blighted ovum occurs within the first trimester, often before a woman knows she is pregnant. a high level of chromosome abnormalities usually causes a woman’s body to naturally miscarry. one of the first things you need to know if you have been diagnosed with a blighted ovum is that this is a loss..
A blighted ovum pregnancy can continue for days and even weeks before the body realizes that the pregnancy is not viable, which can make it that much harder for a woman experiencing it..
