Background Information:
In a blighted ovum pregnancy there is fertilization and development of preembyonic cells, but the embryo does not form. A placenta is also formed, but the placenta and a functional vasculature are not formed normally.
In blighted ova pregnancy, specific proteins, such as alpha feta protein and pregnancy-specific protein beta 1 glycoprotein are not produced in normal quantities. Some have theorized that insufficient luteal function plays a role in the development of anembryonic pregnancies.

Blighted ovum despite the fact that it is a fairly common complication, few people have heard of blighted ovum, also known as an anembryonic pregnancy. Simply put, a blighted ovum is when normal conception, implantation, and growth of the placenta happen but no fetus develops. A blighted ovum always ends in a miscarriage within the first trimester and is in fact the cause of 50% to 60% of all first trimester miscarriages. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to prevent it.

Symptoms:
Typical signs of a blighted ovum include spotting, cramps, vaginal bleeding as your hCG levels begin to fall, and/or no fetal heartbeat detected by the 12th week of pregnancy. An ultrasound can confirm for certain whether or not you have a blighted ovum. It you do, the ultrasound will show an empty gestational sac since there is no fetus.
