Re: What's a chemical pregnancy?
I don't have the exact medical term but, it's when an egg gets fertized but never implants, it never becomes and embrio...it leavs the body with your AF. BFP can be a result due to the fact that an egg was fertilized.
At last thats how I understand it!!!

What Is A Chemical Pregnancy?
A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman’s period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.
With the ultra sensitive pregnancy tests on the market today, it is easier than ever to get a positive result 3 or 4 days before your period is due. It is wonderful for those who NEED to know, but does have it’s down side. Early testing shows chemical pregnancies which would not have been detected had the woman waited for her period to arrive.
Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.
What Causes a Chemical Pregnancy
Most chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems in the developing fetus. Other possible causes are inadequate uterine lining, uterine abnormalities both congenital or acquired like fibroids, low hormone levels, luteal phase defect or certain infections.

I will be honest - this is the EXACT reason why we always push people to wait to test.....

I wonder why it's 50-60% in frist pregnancies? Does your body have to get used to that hormone before it can support a pregnancy?

Re: What's a chemical pregnancy?
It's a lost pregnancy at the very early stages. I recntly had a "chemical pregnancy" I got a few BFP's then a week later (at 5 wks) got a very heavy period. I personally don't like the term, but it is what it is.

Re: What's a chemical pregnancy?
i don't like the term at all. it sound sso impersonal and clinical. it's just an early misscarriage (before 8 weeks, i believe)
