VIDEO: Miscarried Embryo at 5 Weeks
This is a youtube video showing several fetus/embryos filmed through embryoscopy (not to be confused with an embryoscope.)
I programed the video to start at the segment featuring the embryo of approximately 5 weeks.
This segment shows this miscarried embryo being removed because he was not delivered.
The video comes from Dr. Jesus Alberto Ruiz from the Medifertil clinic in Bogota, Colombia.
