Re: Chemical Pregnancy?
a chemical pregnancy is a very early misscarriage. I read somewhere that it is believed that up to 40% of all pregnancies end as a chemical pregnancy. Many times a chemical pregnancy happens before a woman even misses her period. Years ago people had no idea and just thought that they were having a heavy or more crampy than normal period. Today, with HPTs becoming more sensitive combined with more women testing before they miss thier period it is becoming more widely known.

Re: Chemical Pregnancy?
My SIL had one about 4 years ago, and they dont even count it as a miscarriage. To them its basically as if hte pregnancy almost took but not quite! She later had 2 more miscarriages, but they dont count the chemical pregnancy at all!

My dr. did not take them seriously at first either, but after 5 he now has me going in for a bazillion tests. If you have a recurring problem I would def. seek medical help.

Re: Chemical Pregnancy?
I was wondering what this was too! Thank you for asking, it is a lot clearer now. I wonder why the doctor wouldnt take it seriously... I would think a miscarriage, no matter how far along it was... is something a doctor should look into!

Re: Chemical Pregnancy?
Also, some women don't even know they were pregnant because when they miscarry it is about the same time their period is due.
