Brief Answer:
Blighted ovum
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply
1. If you have seen gestational sac on ultrasound scan and nothing else it is called blighted ovum.
2. The most common reason being chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus which cause this.
3. This happens when there is abnormalities in baby.
4. As of now please wait for another week. If there is delayed implantation the heartbeat might appear late.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
