Liz,
A Chemical pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy loss that happens very early in the first trimester. In fact, chemical pregnancies tend to happen so early most women dont even know that theyve experienced one. Most health experts believe that in a chemical pregnancy the fetus actually dies almost immediately after conception.
Chemical pregnancies are much more common than you might think. In fact, between 50% and 60% of all first-time pregnancies are thought to end in miscarriage a large majority of which can be attributed to chemical pregnancies.
The difference between a chemical pregnancy and most other forms of miscarriage is that many women dont even realize that they have experienced one.
This is because the vast majority of chemical pregnancies occur within the initial six weeks of pregnancy, when most typical pregnancy symptoms are not yet present, meaning that women is unlikely to take a pregnancy test.
Of course, with ongoing developments in pregnancy test sensitivity, women are becoming increasingly able to detect a pregnancy early on as early as 3 days before a predicted period. As a result, it is likely that more women will begin detecting chemical pregnancies.
Determining the reason for a chemical pregnancy can be difficult, however, there are a few known causes, such as:
Chromosome Abnormality: Chromosomal abnormalities are by far the most common cause of a chemical pregnancy, and are present at the time of conception, preventing the baby from forming properly. As a result, a miscarriage occurs.
Uterine Abnormalities: Abnormalities in the uterus, such as the presence of uterine fibroids, can interfere with implantation, leading to a chemical pregnancy.
Hormonal Deficiency: Women with luteal phase defects and other hormone deficiencies have difficulty maintaining a pregnancy due to a lack of hormones. As a result, the body experiences a miscarriage.
Symptoms of Chemical Pregnancy
Women who have been pregnant before though, may notice that they "feel pregnant" prior to starting their period. That is because they will be experiencing some of the normal symptoms of pregnancy, such as:
tender, swollen breasts
nausea
fatigue
Women experiencing these symptoms may also have a positive pregnancy test. However, a sudden reversal in signs of pregnancy and the onset of a period will indicate a chemical pregnancy has taken place.
In addition, your may notice:
small clots in your blood
increased amounts of blood
more severe cramping
hemical pregnancies are primarily diagnosed by confirming the presence of pregnancy through a pregnancy blood test. Once a pregnancy has been confirmed, your health care provider will monitor your hCG levels to ensure that your pregnancy is moving along smoothly. If there is a sudden decrease in your hCG levels, this may signal a miscarriage.
If these levels drop, an ultrasound will likely be performed to detect any signs of life in the uterus. If a chemical pregnancy has occurred, no embryo will be seen and no heartbeat will be heard
That's wat it happen to me, becos my AF is very accurate de, the most is early/late 1-2 days. That's my problem of testing too early then in the end got the BIG disappointment
