I found a website that talked about the likelihood of being diagnosed with an impending miscarriage, and then going on to have a viable pregnancy.
At Misdiagnosed Miscarriage one of the referenced pages talks about blighted ovum - an empty fetal sac - being diagnosed in women with retroverted uteri (tiled backward) only to find that the baby had been well hid due to the position/shape of the uterus when using transvaginal ultrasounds.
So out of curiosity, I did a search, and have found multitudes of accounts of this happening... So I did a literature search. Sure enough, there is nothing in the literature about this.
Do I see a research project in my future? Maybe... I gotta get through a dissertation first.

CRAZY!

Re: CRAZY!
Just reading over your blog (its been a month since I last visited). But I wanted to let you know, that this is what happened with our last one (you know which one this is already). They said that I had miscarried - because they found an empty yolk sack - and my hormone levels weren't high like they should have been. They advised me to either have an assisted miscarriage, or let it go on its own. The week after they said that I miscarried, they had me come in to check levels (to check and see if I had passed it, etc), and the hormone levels were double of what they were the previous week (when they should have been less if I would have miscarried). They did a transvaginal ultrasound on me -- and low and behold... the baby... alive... I'm thankful, that I choice to to wait it out, instead of having them complete the miscarriage, as it would have resulted in an abortion. And my healthy, bouncing 16 month old baby boy wouldn't be here today :)
