Would you please explain the difference between a hydatidiform mole and a blighted ovum? They sound very similar, but they are handled differently. A friend of mine just miscarried and was diagnosed as having a blighted ovum. I just miscarried and was diagnosed as having a complete molar pregnancy. My friend's doctor has recommended that she try to conceive again soon, but my doctor says I have to wait at least 6 months and must have blood work done weekly until my HCG level returns to zero. Please explain the difference.
