I have been diagnosed with anembryonic pregnancy at 8.5 weeks. I don't have any bleeding till now. In my ultrasound today, gestational sac and yolk sac were seen but no fetal pole was seen. I have been advised to take cytolog tablets and terminate it. I need suggestions on,
1) can I wait for another week and then proceed with termination ? Or is there a risk of infection ? I feel I should give it another week as I have a feeling I ovulated later.
2) are there any precautions I can take for future to avoid this ? Is this because of any deficiency or harmonal disbalance ?

In a 8 weeks pregnancy the fetal pole and the cardiac activity should ideally be there . If it’s a delayed conception then all parameters will be accordingly and then waiting is advisable . Infection risk is more if you wait and also your coagulation disturbances can happen . If you want to be reassured again before going for termination please repeat the usg from another observer in another centre just to be double ascertained
No ... waiting not advisable
Yes risk of Infection n products sticking to the wall r there
