Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (44 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Good chances of conceiving

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Such miscarriage is common in many women and is not rare to see blighted ovum.

Most common reason for blighted ovum is chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo which is manifested as blighted ovum.

I don't think this will repeat. She has good chances of conceiving again and have a healthy baby.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Her chromosome test results and cysts fluid test has not yet come. They say in USA they will send the report to the doctor. its more than 13 days. I am now more worried about the cyst . Hope it wi.. be benign. I have an MRI report which she took in XXXXXXX when she was here in April 2016 for back pain. The MRI also found the cyst.
It said paranormal cyst in ovaries. Dont know why her doc said it was blocking the fallopian tube. Which means according to him only one tube is functioning. I am so worried about her cyst result. He deflated the cyst and took out the liquid. He felt it is rare and has not seen any cyst in the tube. i am pasting the mri report below. Can you help me interpret the cyst part. Thanks doctor

Brief Answer:
Don't worry about cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Cyst appears to be benign and nothing serious. I don't see any reason to panic.

She has disc prolapse which needs to be treated.

Cyst will be benign. Don't worry about it.
