Brief Answer:
Missed abortion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At 2.5 months the spotting with an irregular empty gestational sac is suggestive of a missed abortion. Taking Lupigest injection will not help her. There is no development of the fetus inside. It is useless to continue this pregnancy. The baby will not grow. You can only wait for the spontaneous bleeding to start in next 4-5 days.
The sac is likely to be expelled spontaneously. Better luck next time.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
