Blighted Ovum by Worryingly: 12:10am On May 01
Hello experienced people in the house especially Healthcare practitioners and married folks.

I got married two years ago and since then, child birth has been a bit difficult.

I'm in my late twenties and in the first half of last year, I took in and later miscarried, I started noticing spots of blood and when I went to hospital, the doctor prescribed duphaston, eventually I miscarried and doctor used mispprostol to evacuate. Two months later, I took in again and after 7 weeks, I went for an ultrasound the result summarily was "no fetal pole or yolk sac" and was told to return in 2 weeks, result was same. After 10 weeks, doctor advised me to evacuate as it wasnt progressing. The diagnosis was blighted ovum. I was advised to wait for 3-4months before taking in again which I did.

These are senior consultants and even a prof, so I wholly trust their expertise.

Last month, I had sex while ovulating and I genuinely thought I would conceive. I had all the symptoms. But my period still came. It's becoming really unsettling.

I've seen the doctors with my husband and even asked them if he has to do any test. But they said no need as I'm actually taking in that it would have been concerning if I wasnt getting pregnant. I wondered if it was a problem from him and they said no. They also said i shouldnt bother that miscarriages is the body's way of expelling abnormal fetuses. I've had to do a range of tests including progesterone and other infection tests and they all came out well. Doctors said everything is fine. I had an abdominal ultrasound done, and the radiologist said I'm completely fine.

But I'm very worried. My husband have been a perfect man, but I know he is worried deep down, even though he womt show it.

Please does anyone have this experience or idea of how to go about this? The consultant prescribed vasopressin which i stopped at the advised time while I continued folic acid.

My mom gave me some leaves to boil and drink that it will help.

I really need help.

My sister, it is well.

Firstly, the doctors are right. Mis-miscarriages and miscarriages are your nature's way of reducing birth defects. It is better to have a healthy baby than otherwise.

My advise, load yourself with the right vitamins, adequate water and rest. Vitamin C and folic acid are greatly underrated!

Your husband should start taking vitamin C everyday as part of his daily vitamin supplements. Then drink a lot of water. In 3 months, his swimmers will be a lot healthier.

You....take vitamin C and folic acid everyday plus water for same duration. This will greatly help your follicles. Or, you could just take the well woman supplements as well as the folic acid until conception. And when you notice you're pregnant again, continue with the folic acid, vitamin C and add pregnancy care. No say my own too much o, if possible, just dey sit down put leg up for the first 3 months.

Good luck.

Calm down, these things happen. Anxiety will also be an enemy to you conceiving. Blighted ovum is no big deal, it's far more common than you think.

Visit the health section of this forum and read other women's experiences. You can also get advise from there, but don't swallow every advise given. Do well to do your own research. Cheers.

Yes. He was also advised to take Reload for Men. Just incase it's an issue with him, even though the doctors disagree

You're getting pregnant and having miscarriages, please explain how you still suspect the issue is with your husband... Perhaps I'm missing something 🤔

Because i learnt it may be a chromosomal issue, so I'm trying to consider all possible causes. The doctors said as long as I'm taking in though, then its not from my husband. But I'm a bit concerned that they are not recommending any test for him as pregnancy is a fusion of both man and woman

Sorry about your experience. If you want them to recommend a test for your husband, just tell them. Atleast that would satisfy the curiosity.
Apart from all these test, I would also suggest you join a Bible believing church and prayer fervently.
If you were able to take in there shouldn't be so much difficulties. Medical practices have its place, prayers also have it place.

Everything will be ok

I see.

It could be possible you know something that the doctors, with all their training and experience, don't know yet.
