Hey TTC Community,

I know Chemical Pregnancies (Early Miscarriages) is something that “happens” and your chances of conceiving is supposed to be much higher afterwards. However, when you want a child so bad it can almost make you feel like something is wrong with you (I’m just being transparent about my emotions here).

Anyway, I’m 24 years old with no known fertility or health issues. I’m up to date with pretty much everything... vaccines, Pap smears, you name it, I’m up to date. Almost a year ago my husband and I started trying to conceive our first child together. In all honesty, I never really “tracked” my cycle. I just knew to expect it every month. When I started entertaining the idea of having a baby I loaded up on OPKs, research, etc. to make sure that I was MORE than prepared to have a baby. The first time I ever used Preseed (A Fertility Friendly Lubricant) I received my first BFP at 8 DPO. I was thru the roof with excitement! However, over the next couple of days the test began to get lighter and lighter and my period eventually came.

7 months later I received another very faint positive on a pregnancy test at 9 DPO and it disappeared the next day. I’m not sure if I should even count that as a chemical or not because it all can be very confusing by definition.

Either way, I want to know if anyone has knowledge on very early miscarriages, also known as Chemical Pregnancies, and if you have had any personal experiences and have gone on to have a healthy pregnancy with or without fertility or medical interference. Both of them happened at no more than 4 or 5 weeks.

All responses are greatly appreciated.
