I just had my first chemical pregnancy and I was very disappointed. The only thing that kept me from devastation is knowing that it is common and happens to many women.

I have PCOS, so it my 2nd round of taking 100mg of clomid. My first round was 50mg and unsuccessful.

When I saw the positive at 12DPO I was shaking. I took 4 test that morning including 2 digital bc the line was clearly pink. I had our 2yr old (almost 3) daughter hand him the test in zip lock bags while we were exercising at a park at 6am. We were thrilled we would give our daughter a sibling. He shed a few tears bc it was 1yr9months of trying. Everything was great until I saw the line fading.

My husband didn’t believe it would be an early miscarriage—he wanted this so bad. I explained to him what I had learned about the line fading. He still didn’t believe. By 15DPO the line was barely visible and I woke up my breast no longer hurt and my uterus had stopped stretching.

I knew in my gut what was happening. 18 DPO I had my hcg levels tested. 19DPO My doctor notified me I was not pregnant as my hcg levels were very low.

I started spotting later that afternoon. By that point my period was a week late.

Currently going through a painful period with severe cramping and passing clumps of tissue.

We are immediately trying again with 100mg of clomid. I am on CD3 and I am hopeful after reading so many success stories after having a CP.

I asked my doctor for progesterone suppositories for the next time I get a positive test. I am also going to take myo-inositol to improve my egg quality.
