1. What is egg pregnancy?

An ovum is when there is a defect in the cells that form the placenta (also called trophoblast cells) either the cells grow too quickly, much faster than the blastocyst, or grow around an embryo that does not. can exist.
Initially, the abnormal placental growth will still secrete hCG hormone (a hormone produced by the placenta), leading to a positive pregnancy test, so the patient will be mistaken for a pregnancy. a normal pregnancy even though the embryo is not viable. Here are the telltale signs of pregnancy :
Heavy bleeding in early pregnancy with high hCG levels; High blood pressure in pregnancy (before 20 weeks). The doctor can confirm the presence of this abnormality through an ultrasound, which shows no fetus and typically a cluster of cells resembling a bunch of grapes.

2. Classification of pregnancy

A total ovum means that the sperm has attempted to fertilize an empty egg (also known as an egg without DNA). Although conception has not occurred, placental cells continue to develop, forming a mass of tissue that is entirely placental cells (also known as an ovum). A partial pregnancy means that fertilization has occurred, but it has resulted in a non-viable embryo (two sperm fertilizing an egg). Even though the embryo cannot survive, the placental cells still develop and they grow very quickly, "swallowing" the embryo. Therefore, the growing tissue mass is part placental cells and part fetal cells.

3. Is an egg pregnancy the same as a miscarriage?

An egg pregnancy is not exactly the same as a miscarriage. While the cause of miscarriage is usually a chromosomal abnormality, an ectopic pregnancy occurs due to an abnormality of the placenta's formation. However, both of these cases cause miscarriage.

4. How long after egg pregnancy can you get pregnant?

The main difference between an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage is the time in which you can conceive again. Pregnancy after a miscarriage can proceed as soon as you are ready. However, after an egg pregnancy, complications can lead to prolonged cell growth, so your doctor may ask you to wait 12-24 months before trying to conceive again.
During that time, you need to be monitored for hCG levels, if the condition is stable and the hCG test is negative several times (test one week until negative three weeks in a row then test every month) it is possible to get pregnant again.
In case you have an ectopic pregnancy, have been treated but then progress to glioblastoma, you must follow-up after glioblastoma is 2 years. If you want to get pregnant again soon (<1 year), you must be examined and closely monitored to assess the progress of the disease.
In summary, most ovulatory pregnancies are benign, completely curable, and patients can still maintain normal reproductive function. However, some cases of egg pregnancy lead to serious complications, so before trying to get pregnant again, the patient needs to conduct a thorough examination and follow-up to ensure the safety of the pregnancy.
