Advice Needed

42F, partner 44M. I was supposed to have my FET in March and was on estrogen from Feb 26 till March 20, however I ovulated and so I was told to stop the estrogen and to expect a period in 10 - 14 days. On 04/11, I was confirmed pregnant with an Hcg of 4600, on 04/14 Hcg wqs 16k, confirmed to be weeks, a 12mm gestational sac was seen but no yolk sac was seen, today 04/22 Hcg is 73,000, yet still no yolk sac. My Dr says its a blighted ovum and suggesting a D&C. Im planning getting a confirmatory second opinion at another ultrasound center.

I'm clinging on to hope and want to wait a bit more as I'm praying this embryo develops as i feel full blown pregnancy symptoms.

In Aug 2025, while prepping for FET I got pregnant spontaneously but it was pregnancy of unknown location and I took Methotrexate and hcg cleared Nov 2025.

Apologies for the tardy write up, I'm so disoriented.

Any one had a blighted ovum becoming viable?
