Will an unfertilized egg that fails to implant be expelled from the body?

Introduction
Failed implantation of the fertilized egg generally does not result in expulsion from the body. Implantation failure usually refers to a biochemical pregnancy, in which sperm and egg unite and form a fertilized egg, but the fertilized egg fails to successfully implant in the uterus, leading to spontaneous termination of the pregnancy. It should be noted that failed implantation often causes women to experience abdominal cramping and bloating, and their menstrual cycle typically resumes as normal, among other symptoms.
Fertilized eggs that fail to implant are generally not expelled from the body. Implantation failure usually refers to a biochemical pregnancy, in which sperm and egg have combined and formed a fertilized egg, but the fertilized egg fails to successfully implant in the uterus, resulting in spontaneous termination of the pregnancy. The details are as follows:
After implantation failure, a small number of women may experience a slight increase in vaginal discharge. Some may notice what appears to be the outflow of a fertilized egg or early embryo. However, this typically does not mean an actual embryo has been expelled. Instead, it is usually due to increased secretions—such as fragments of shed endometrial tissue, cervical mucus, and slightly increased vaginal discharge—being discharged from the body. Women may mistakenly interpret this as the expulsion of a failed implantation.
It should be noted that unsuccessful implantation of a fertilized egg often causes women to experience lower abdominal pain, bloating, and the normal onset of menstruation. Having intercourse during the woman's ovulation period can increase the chances of conception. It is important to avoid excessive physical fatigue and strenuous exercise during this time.
