Brief Answer:
It is blighted ovum

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Gestational sac more than 20mm with no yolk sac or fetal pole is sign of blighted ovum.. It means it is not a healthy pregnancy.. The pregnancy needs to be terminated.. D and C would be a better option as there is greater chance of retained products with medical termination..

Get a rest of 3 months before trying for next pregnancy.. Continue folic acid..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
