What is a chemical pregnancy???

Question

So confused

Answer

A chemical pregnancy is simply a miscarriage that occurs very early on in a woman’s pregnancy. Often, this is because a woman was able to obtain a positive determination of pregnancy from a test before her period typically occurs. As a result, the miscarriage will occur at the time of a woman’s period.

Part of the problem, when it comes to miscarriages that occur extremely early on, is the fact that there are many pregnancy tests on the market today that can detect pregnancy earlier than ever before. While this is good from the perspective of a potential mother-to-be, it also has one major disadvantage.

Obviously, the disadvantage is the crushing disappointment and sadness that can occur if an early miscarriage occurs. Of course, this means that early testing can detect chemical pregnancies and normal pregnancies alike. However, if a woman would simply wait for her period to occur, she would never know that she is pregnant in the first place, avoiding the emotional distress that ensues with a miscarriage diagnosis.

Unfortunately, this problem is extremely prevalent. In fact, 50 to 60 percent of all first pregnancies result in miscarriages extremely early in the pregnancy. Luckily, most occur without the woman ever knowing that she is pregnant. However, with the advent of early detection pregnancy tests, the problem is becoming increasingly known before the miscarriage occurs.

Answer

It's an early mc.....they refer to it as a pregnancy that "didn't stick"...I just had one and my Dr told me that the fetus was more than likely a foreign blood type and my body rejected it :(
