After an occurrence of embryonic arrest, some early pregnancy reactions in pregnant women will gradually ease but not disappear immediately. This is mainly related to elevated hormone levels in the body. Even after the embryonic arrest, the hormone levels in the body remain relatively high. As the arrested embryo is expelled from the body, the hormone levels will gradually decrease, and some early pregnancy reactions will also gradually ease. Generally, these adverse reactions will gradually ease and eventually disappear about a week after the embryo is expelled from the body.

Why are there still pregnancy reactions when the embryo has ceased to develop?

Women experience various pregnancy reactions to different degrees after conceiving, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and fatigue. These are primarily caused by hormonal changes in the body following pregnancy. When there is a case of embryonic arrest, the hormones in the body will gradually decrease, and the pregnancy reactions will also gradually weaken. Some may also experience abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, after embryonic arrest occurs, some pregnant women may exhibit early signs, such as the disappearance of breast tenderness and vaginal bleeding, along with a reduction in pregnancy reactions. These signs indicate that timely treatment is necessary.

Why is there still morning sickness when the embryo has stopped developing?

After a missed miscarriage occurs, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the body does not immediately drop to normal levels, so symptoms of morning sickness may still occur. As the hormone levels decrease gradually following the embryonic demise, these symptoms of morning sickness will also gradually ease and even disappear. Therefore, it is important to address a missed miscarriage promptly. This can be managed through surgical abortion or medication-induced abortion to avoid prolonged untreated cases, which could lead to gynecological inflammation or abnormalities in blood coagulation functions.

How long does it take for a miscarried embryo to be expelled from the body?

After the embryo ceases to develop, some may naturally miscarry. Others may not be expelled naturally and require medical intervention for removal. After the embryo has stopped developing, the timing of expulsion varies from person to person due to different physical constitutions. Most women can naturally miscarry after the embryo stops developing, typically within about ten days when expulsion occurs. However, some embryonic tissue may be larger and adhere to the uterine cavity, preventing expulsion and causing continuous vaginal bleeding. In such cases, a visit to the hospital for an ultrasound is necessary, followed by medical abortion or a dilation and curettage procedure.

Does embryonic arrest definitely require a uterine curettage?

After embryo arrest, it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner, but it is not always necessary to undergo a uterine curettage; medication can also be taken orally to help expel the pregnancy sac. Oral medication can stimulate the uterus and soften the cervix to cause uterine contractions and expel the pregnancy sac outside the uterus. However, if the embryo arrest occurs later in the pregnancy, then an artificial abortion is required, which can be done by direct curettage or uterine clearing to help expel the pregnancy tissue. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination after embryo arrest, and then decide whether to choose medical abortion or uterine clearing based on the timing of the examination. (The specific medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.)
