A blighted ovum occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but doesn t develop into an embryo. It is also referred to as an anembryonic pregnancy and is a leading cause of early pregnancy failure or miscarriage. Miscarriages from a blighted ovum are often due to problems with chromosomes, the structures that carry genes. This may be from a poor-quality sperm or egg. Or, it may occur due to abnormal cell division. Regardless, your body stops the pregnancy because it recognizes this abnormality. Good news is for most women, a blighted ovum occurs only once. So dont take unnecessary tension and hope for the best. Usually after a miscarriage your doctor may recommend that you wait at least one to three menstrual cycles before trying to conceive again. I think your doctor has done this. All the best Regards Dr Santosh
