how blighted ovum occur ?
Anembryonic gestation. A condition that occur when the gestational sac develops without embryo. It occurs when an embryo never develops or stops developing. Often, no specific cause is apparent. It is usually noticed in the 1 st weeks of pregnancy during an ultrasound.
Symptoms may include minor stomach cramping, light spotting or bleeding.
The exact cause of blighted ovum is not known. It's thought to be caused by chromosomal abnormalities occuring within the fertilized egg. This may be the result of genetics, or of poor quality of egg or sperm. Maybe linked to abnormalities within chromosome 9. Significantly higher risk if the partners are biologically related.
