This video shows Early Twin Pregnancy with Blighted ovum also called Anembryonic pregnancy.
Twin Pregnancy with both Blighted Ova, also called Anembryonic pregnancies.
A blighted ovum eventually results in miscarriage. Some women choose to wait for the miscarriage to happen naturally, while others take medication to trigger the miscarriage. In some cases, a procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) is used to remove the placental tissues.
What is a blighted ovum? A blighted ovum is a pregnancy where a sac and placenta grow, but a baby does not. It is also called an 'anembryonic pregnancy' as there is no embryo (developing baby). Because a blighted ovum still makes hormones, it can show up as a positive pregnancy test.
If, you go to the follow-up ultrasound and there's still no sign of a fetal pole (or a gestational sac, which looks like a white rim around a clear center), a miscarriage has likely occurred. In some cases, the empty gestational sac can remain intact for a number of weeks before miscarriage symptoms appear.
A blighted ovum is a type of miscarriage that occurs very early in pregnancy in which the fertilized egg is not able to develop into an embryo after it has attached itself to the uterine wall.
Often it occurs so early that you don't even know you are pregnant. A blighted ovum causes about one out of two miscarriages in the first trimester of pregnancy. A miscarriage is when a pregnancy ends on its own within the first 20 weeks.
Many women complete the blighted ovum miscarriage naturally without intervention. If a woman has already started bleeding but is stable, a doctor may offer to do a D&C (dilation and curettage) to clear the uterine lining of tissue. She might also take medication to help pass the products of conception at home.
Blighted ovum bleeding will be something like a period and last for about a week. One pro tip? Use pads rather than tampons. By your next period (in about 3 to 6 weeks) all should be back to normal and you can use tampons again.
A blighted ovum feels similar to a normal pregnancy at first. That's because the body senses something has been implanted into the uterus and continues to produce hormones including hCG that cause early pregnancy symptoms.
it's a cellular or chromosomal failure. Second, the 'ovum' is not solely to blame: it's the egg AND sperm that don't speak to each other. And third, a silent miscarriage also refers to an embryo with no heartbeat.

While excessive stress isn't good for your overall health, there's no evidence that stress results in miscarriage. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage.
When the blighted ovum pregnancy loss happens, it might appear as: Without any symptoms of miscarriage, also known as missed miscarriage. Low abdominal pain and cramping. Vaginal bleeding, which may include spotting or menstrual bleeding.
It is possible to detect a miscarriage (other related terminology includes "blighted ovum," "spontaneous abortion," and "missed miscarriage") with no bleeding or cramping-though these symptoms generally follow eventually.
Signs of a failed pregnancy
Early on, you may also have some common pregnancy symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, and sore breasts. Later, when the hormone levels begin to go down, these symptoms will subside and you're likely to have spotting or bleeding. At first, you might notice some reddish-brown staining.
A woman early in her pregnancy may have a miscarriage and only experience bleeding and cramping for a few hours. But another woman may have a miscarriage bleeding for up to a week. The bleeding can be heavy with clots, but it slowly tapers off over days before stopping, usually within two weeks.

Treatment for blighted ovum. After a pregnancy loss, the placenta and sac need to leave the body. The process can cause pain and bleeding. This can happen on its own, or your body may need help.
An empty sac pregnancy is a type of miscarriage, even though the products of conception are still contained in the uterus. If this happens to you, you may be given the choice of letting nature take its course or having a procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C).
If you are past seven weeks pregnant, seeing no heartbeat may be a sign of miscarriage.
