A member asked:

What is the longest you can have a blighted ovum? is it possible to have one up to 23 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A blighted ovum is: An early pregnancy loss anywhere from 4-10 weeks I have never heard of anyone having that remain in them for 23 weeks, once it is diagnosed it should be removed using meds or D&C and usually you woudl start bleeding within 3-4 weeks of the nonviable point.
