It depends.
It could eventually implant in the uterine cavity and develop into a perfectly healthy embryo, then a fetus, and then eventually a birth would occur and you'd have an infant.
Or, it could implant elsewhere, such as in the Fallopian tube, which is called an ectopic pregnancy. In this case it will most likely never develop into a viable fetus and is extremely dangerous to the woman carrying it.
Or, it might not implant at all, in which case it will degenerate and pass from the woman. So actually, yes; in many cases it does basically "just disappear".
The rest of your reply to me=word games and rebutted points.
