Hi ladies! I am 99% sure I am having a chemical pregnancy. A little background - I had a positive preg test on Monday, it was darker on Tuesday, supper faint on Wed, and went to my ob/gyn office for a urine test on Thursday to confirm and document what i thought was happening (all FMU except for Monday's test)... The nurse also saw a super faint line and sent me over for blood work - hcg and progesterone. I took a test this morning (Saturday) and it was negative. I won't hear from the doctor until Monday.

Has anyone had a chemical pregnancy that they are aware of? How long until the bleeding starts? I am feeling ok aside from the severe fatigue.... no queeziness or sore boobs anymore... I am just anxious to put this cycle behind us. Anyone try to take supplements such as baby asprin, Vit B6 or extra folic acid (besides what is in the prenatal vitamins??)

My heart is breaking and I haven't told anyone besides my hubby (who really doesn't understand the heartache since I just told him last night - was going to tell him tomorrow on Father's Day) and my closest friend - who was trying to be very positive and kept saying it was so early to know. I just want to crawl into bed and cry. I am afraid to start as I won't stop ;(

I had several days thinking we were pregnant... That is so hard. Had I waited till af was due I would still have gotten a slight positive - and I would have been just a devasted the next day when it would be negative.... So waiting till af is due really doesn't help... ;(
 
im so sorry huny i dont have any advice but wanted to send you hugs xx
 
I had one last week. I got my bfp on the Thursday..everything was fine. Was so pleased as i did a digital test. The following Thursday i went to the toilet and wiped to find some pinky discharge. I went to take a test..an ebay cheapie on and it came up almost negative. i thought maybe it was just a crappy test so i had a spare digital one. I was heartbroken to find it came up with the words 'not pregnant' I just couldnt believe it. Like you, i didnt have any other signs really except a little pinky discharge which could have been implantation. Well when i got up the next morning, the bleeding started and i have been bleeding really heavily up until now. Have done a test since and it has been negative so i have lost my beanie.
So sorry you sound like you are in a similar position..anything you want to know just ask. I was coming up for 5wks pregnant. x
 
I have felt like you..the hardest part is that you begin to think about all the pregnancy things..even in such a short space of time, the excitment and happiness you feel..to then have to cope with the utter sadness of loosing the pegnancy a few days later. It is seriously such a cruel thing. I so know how you feel.x
 
Googling i found this:

..even if this pregnancy is just a chemical one....it means you definitely can get pregnant. i.e., the passageway is open, you ovulate, and the sperm can impregnate an egg.

This gives me hope. This makes me feel better. I really hope it does to you too. xxxx
 
hi hun yes ive had one hun at 4wks+1 it was so hard and heart breaking as especially when wanted it so much i so hope ur ok chick xxx
 
Thanks ladies.... I know I will get through this... Still waiting for af to show now so I can start again ;)
 
I had one in may, got my first ever bfp on the 27th, it was really positive, not faint, I was about 16dpo and had been feeling sick and didn't expect a line as I thought AF would come. Next mornings test, nothing but put this down to being cheap, afternoon test, very very faint, the next morning, different test and it was negative, then AF came with horrible horrible cramps, so it took about 1 day from my positive turning negative for bleeding to start... So sorry if you are going through this hunny. xx
 
I think I did last cycle, got loads of positives then they just disapeared. AF came only a day later than usual and it was pretty heavy - a lot heavier than my usual.
 
I had one literally the month before I conceived Darcy. I prefer to refer to it as a failed implantation than chemical pregnancy. I knew I was pregnant within a few days. I know some people can't tell, but I could. Had the same with the tests. At round 5 weeks I bled quite bright blood, some clots but with little pain for about 3 days, and knew it would be a failed pregnancy. It was heart breaking.
The one positive I took from it was that I knew my body was trying to get pregnant. Some say that you are much more likely to fall pregnant immediately afterwards too as your body has good levels of hormones and is getting prepared. It certainly seemed that way for me as literally on my next cycle I conceived....
I'm sorry for your loss - good luck with continuing trying..xxx
 
Is chemical pregn. a fertilization without implantation? I had one 2 years ago, it sucks, and had my hormones gone crazy for a few weeks

That brings me a lot of comfort. I am hoping that it will be my month next month. Its a horrible thing to go through..gets your hopes up only to shatter them in the space of a week for me. Strangely i had no pain, just a really heavy period that has only really lasted a 3/4 days so far. I am hoping that its going to be a sticky bean next month.....i am hoping for everyone that has gone through this as its really does suck big time.

I love this site.... You are all so sweet and positive. LOVE that and really NEEDED that. I woke up with a horrible low backache this morning. I am assuming I will start bleeding soon.

I am going to think very positive and that this next cycle will be the one! I hope the same goes for you MomofFive!!!

So most likely a chemical pregnancy is either a genetic issue with the baby or an issue with hormones and implanting... Any good ideas for aiding that besides baby asprin and prenatal vitamins? I plan on talking to my doctor tomorrow. I will let you know what she says.

Love to you all and thanks so much for your support. It means so much more than I can express. I am so glad I have you!!! :hugs:
 
Well, I am thankful af showed this morning... Now there is no more wondering and I can start to focus on this new cycle... (who would ever think you would be grateful af shows???) This is a roller coaster. CD 1 here I am!!! Plus one angel that will forever be apart of me...
