Also known as "chemical" pregnancy.

I Lost two very early pregnancies back to back, March and April. My Dr. Says it's really common, most women don't even know this had occurred and assume that it's their period, or "late period" unless you test early as I had been doing. Although it was a very emotional experience for us both to find out we were pregnant after trying for several month, only to lose it days after (twice), the one positive thing we can take from this is that we know we are quite fertile and CAN conceive (Dr. Says its actually a very good sign).

Biochemical pregnancies has to do with an abnormal chromosome from either him or her and is quite a common occurrence. After implantation the body detects this abnormality and terminates the pregnancy. This termination usually is assumed to be a period or late period if no prior pregnancy testing was performed.

Just like your menstrual cycle, lots of cramping. Then usually followed with bleeding. A pregnancy test may now show negative, or it can take a week for the hCG hormone to decrease thus showing a "false" positive.

Although the above scenario is more likely, in some cases it can have to do with the uterus lining (housing). After more than 3 biochemical pregnancies further testing may be suggested by your doctor to determine why it's a repetitive occurrence and if its treatable.

I thought I would share this information as it was not something I was aware of until it happened to me.

If you have experienced this, I'm sorry... and I understand the emotional waves (ups and then downs) that come with this early loss (hope, excitement, loss, questioning everything you did during that short time and wondering if you did something wrong) .

This is a natural and common occurrence, there is nothing you could have done different to change the outcome, it was predestined from conception. It was NOT your fault.

Perhaps this post has helped in some small way, knowing that you now know someone else who has experienced this.

My Ovulation period is yet again coming to a close!

Fingers crossed! I Will be testing in 1.5 weeks, and then if positive I'll be holding my breath in hopes that it continues and developed into a healthy pregnancy. 🙏
