What should I do if there is a gestational sac but no embryo?

All girls will get pregnant. Pregnancy is very hard. You won’t know unless you experience it yourself. You must be cautious when you are pregnant and pay attention to your diet and medication. There will be many unknown conditions waiting for pregnant mothers at this time. For example, what should we do if there is a gestational sac but no embryo? Let’s take a look at why this is the case, shall we?

One reason

2. Reasons for not seeing the embryo

The embryo is an important indicator for determining whether the fetus is developing normally in early pregnancy. If no embryo is seen by B-ultrasound after 49 days of pregnancy, the possibility of fetal demise should be considered.

Reasons for pregnancy without embryo:

1. The embryo is too small to be seen: Because many pregnant women have a long menstrual cycle before pregnancy, irregular menstruation and other factors, the pregnancy time may deviate. Some pregnant women have amenorrhea for 49 days, but that doesn't mean 49 days is enough for conception. Therefore, if no embryo is found during B-ultrasound at 7 weeks of pregnancy, it may be that the pregnancy is too short and the embryo has not yet developed. Pregnant women don’t need to worry too much and can check again after a week.

2. Fetal growth retardation: If the embryo does not develop, the B-ultrasound will show that there is a gestational sac but no fetal bud or fetal heart, and it will be accompanied by a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Therefore, if no embryo is seen after pregnancy, it may indicate that the embryo has stopped developing and abortion is required. The main reason for embryonic arrest is chromosomal abnormalities in the fertilized egg, which is largely a result of natural selection. Pregnant women should not be too sad. They should actively check and prepare for the next pregnancy.

What to do

1B ultrasound examination showed a gestational sac of 5cm, but no embryo or fetal heartbeat, which means that the fetus has stopped developing and requires uterine curettage.

2Hello, I think it is caused by fetal maldevelopment and I suggest you do a chromosome test.

3Your case is of fetal arrest, in which case you need to terminate the pregnancy.

I believe that after reading the above article, you will have some understanding of the relevant content about having a gestational sac but no embryo after pregnancy, and you probably know the preliminary treatment plan. If you encounter similar situations in the future, you will not panic. You will feel confident when looking at your belly, and you will not be like an ignorant person. It is good to know more medical knowledge, so pregnant mothers should take good care of themselves. Every baby is cared for.
