2 months ago i thought i was pregnant as i had one day of morning sickness, it lasted from about 5am to 7.30am and i was nausious (sp?) and vomiting - not nice. i am never sick, especially not random vomiting so i thought it must have been morning sickness. anyway, along came the following month it happened again and my dr told me this is a chemical pregnancy, where you do conceive but your body rejects the egg (may have been abnormal) or maybe i just don't produce enough hcg or progesterone.

i had never heard of it so googled it and got some info. i guess the good news is i'm ovulating and producing eggs, i just need to hold onto them!

does anyone know anything about this or experienced this? would love to know what can be done to stop this!

i should add came along on the right day, it wasn't like i was a few weeks pregnant and then miscarried, all this happens before so a lot of women don't even know they were pregnant for a few days

Yep, heard of this... a lot of the time women get BFPs who are early-testers, then get AF thinking they had a false positive when in actuality, they were briefly preg. Sometimes, AF is quite a big heavier though, another clue that it may have or was a chemical. So sorry for you loss. Good luck TTC!

Edited: Meant "...quite a bit heavier," not big heavier. Oops!

Um, Its were a woman gets pregnant, Like some of us POAS acholic some of us find out before AF is due. And, Well what happens is the baby doesn't implant itself correctly into the lining of the uterus & she goes onto having her period at the time it was due to come.
So you actully are pregnant but the baby doesn't implant itself correctly to the lining of the wall causing your lining to shed and you going onto having a period.(chemical pregnancy).
I have had this once.

There is nothing you can do to stop it...it is actually quite common, but you only hear about it from the early testers, because most women wouldn't even know it was happening. It's more if you keep getting later miscarriages that you need to take measures for a healthy pregnancy. HTH!

Wobbles went through quite a few chemical pregnancies, shell be full of info for you.

Mojo

thanks for the info ladies, it really helps. i think i have had chemical pregnancies twice in 5 months, do you think i have a problem because the egg can't implant? meaning will i maybe need fertility treatment for this or will it correct itself?

Arcanegirl

Hard to say without knowing a cause.

It could still happen natrually and you get a sticky

I think it happens a lot & like #3 said, you have to be like a week or so late for AF when you start m/c'ing before fertility Docs will look into treatments or you having "an issue." You can start by charting your temps & checking CM, learn your LP (luteal phase) length. If that's short, you can try progesterone cream after O until AF starts. I'm not a Doc, so research this stuff yourself based on your own thoughts on your particular issues. I don't know anything about it, but maybe look into Vitex? Make sure you get a good strong O when you get make that fertilized eggie & that can help it to stick. Just some thoughts... Good luck!
