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.

PHOTO: 8 Week Fetus From Ruptured Tubal Pregnancy

This eight-week-old fetus was extracted from a ruptured tubal pregnancy. The Crown-Rump Length and lack of defined digits suggests to me that it's 8 weeks LMP and not 8 weeks since fertilization.

PHOTO: Abortion at 16 Weeks

This photo is from the blog of Muhamad Na'im B Ab Razak, M.D, a doctor working in Malaysia. His caption for the photo says: A 16 weeks of gestation fetus who was terminated through cervagerm insertion due to severe uncontrolled chronic hypertension that is exacerbated by pregnancy. [Cervagerm is a pessary that causes miscarriage and is used for abortion.]

PHOTO: Tubal Pregnancy at 26 Weeks

This is a picture of a highly unusual phenomenon: a baby who survived an ectopic tubal pregnancy up to 26 weeks. The authors of the journal article cited another article of a case of a tubal pregnancy that had survived up to 26 weeks. Normally tubal pregnancies rupture by 12 weeks if nothing is done.

The fallopian tube, with the baby, and the ovary was removed.
