Question: Is their remedy for blighted ovum

Im 2months gone no yolk sac and fetal pole seen

Is my baby safe
Answer: Hello

A blighted ovum is what occurs when an implanted fertilised egg in the uterus fails to develop into an embryo What this means is that although theres a positive pregnancy test and other parts of the egg may have formed the gestational sac remains empty 

Unfortunately theres no growing baby

The hormone that signals pregnancy is still usually being released and this can be read during pregnancy as a viable pregnancy however an obstetric scan will reveal the true status of the pregnancy 

Im sorry to inform you that a blighted ovum eventually leads to a miscarriage and it is not able to turn into a viable pregnancy

My advise is to have a repeat scan at a reputable centre and speak to a gynaecologist on how to proceed 

I wish you all the best
