Confusing ultrasound results

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

I went for my first ultrasound yesterday. I thought I was around 6 weeks based on my last menstrual period but the ultrasound technician could only see a sac measuring "around" 4 weeks. She said she thought she could see something else starting to form around the top of the sac but she thought it was too early to tell. My OB ordered an hcg test and the results came back at 7,798. I'm worried this could be a blighted ovum. Any advice?

It's not normal to have blighted ovum or miscarriage. It's a sign of unhealthy body and Hormone imbalance. Miscarriage can be completely prevented by healing the root cause of problem. It's frustrating to see that so many women are suffering and not getting the right information . There is no reason why anybody should suffer with this traumatic event. It's possible to get a healthy baby. Root cause needs further evaluation with blood tests, scan etc. Can be healed with diet changes, lifestyle changes, self care and regenerative detoxification.
