| | Infertility - Empty Arms - The Lonely Trauma of Miscarriage |
| | The miscarriage is Nature's defense mechanism, which aborts a defective fetus, rather than giving birth to a defective baby. | | | In patients with a blighted ovum, missed abortion, inevitable or incomplete abortion, the treatment is a uterine curettage (D&C) - a short surgical procedure which is performed to empty the uterus and remove the pregnancy tissue called the products of conception. | | | It is now also possible for the doctor to terminate the pregnancy non-surgically, by using a combination of drugs such as RU 486 (mifepristone, an anti progestin) or methotrexate, and prostaglandins (such as misoprostol). |

| | Blighted Ovum (Anembryonic Gestation) |
| | The fact that transvaginal ultrasound did not show an embryo at eight weeks must be viewed with caution. | | | A blighted ovum is a pregnancy in which the placenta develops but no fetus is visible on ultrasound. | | | The doctor said this is sometimes called "blighted ovum." The gestational sac was intact and growing at the rate it would have been if there were a fetus. |
