Pregnant immediately after Chemical Pregnancy

Here's my story: (Please let me know if you can relate!!!)
Last month (July) I missed my period on the 1st and was feeling pregnant (sore nipples, tender breasts) so used a HPT on the 3rd. I had two faint positives (one with FMU and one before bed). On the afternoon of the 6th I began bleeding heavily and tested again- the line was obviously fainter. I bled for approximately 5 days. I tested negative with a blood test in the hospital (was hospitalized with probably unrelated intestinal issues) on the 12th.
This was devastating to me because I had never heard of a chemical pregnancy until I read about it on the internet that evening after I started bleeding. I called my doctor's office to let them know what was going on, and all they did was cancel the "pregnancy confirmation" appointment I had set up when I called on the 2nd.
This month I began feeling sore nipples and tender breasts again after ovulation (around July 17th)-- I knew I was pregnant again because I felt the same as I did last month... so I began testing as soon as I could. I tested negative using an HPT the 27th. Then I tested positive using a HPT on the 28th (faint), twice on the 29th (faint in the a.m. and darker in the p.m.), twice on the 29th (both very dark and immediate), once on the 30th (very dark and immediate), and once on August 1st (very dark and immediate). yes, I'm a little obsessed this month (because I am so scared of a chemical happening again!). I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to confirm. I am very excited about the possibility again, but am so hesitant because of what happened only a few weeks ago...
Has anyone had any success carrying out a healthy pregnancy immediately after a chemical pregnancy? I am so worried that I will have to go through this again, or that there is something wrong with me and hope to get answers to tomorrow from medical professionals, but would also like to hear what you ladies have to say. Sometimes the best advice comes from those who have experienced the same thing!!
Good luck to all those out there who are TTC!

Yes, yes!!! I'm going through a completely healthy, normal pregnancy at age 40 after three MC- one blighted ovum at 7 wks, one unexplained loss at 9 wks requiring D&C, and one chemical pregnancy that was very much like yours. I waited two months after the chemical pregnancy to do some testing, but we actually got the 4th BFP before waiting for the inconclusive test results to come in.
So, don't give up hope. I'm at 31 weeks, and this little guy is going to be just fine.
Try not to worry, the stress is not going to do you any good. I know how hard that is, so find anything you can to distract you, and focus on positive thoughts!
Best of luck!!!

I went to my appointment today where they ran a urine test (positive) and they also drew blood with the intention of drawing blood again Friday morning so see if my levels are increasing at the rate they should be (approximately doubling). They are also checking to make sure I am not Rh negative... I am very excited to hear the results, and am doing the best I can do remain positive... all of your success stories and well wishes are definitely helping!!! THANK YOU, ladies! Will update you soon
Last month this was the day that everything went downhill....
2nd vile of blood being drawn today... yay!
Feeling good, feeling good!
Will update as soon as I can-- but headed to Charlotte, NC for a vacation this weekend
Hi everyone:
Time for an update:
Friday I got a call from the doctor saying my levels had doubled over a 48 hour period (at 591 on Friday) and had me repeat my blood work today to make sure the doubling continued... Today (Monday) my levels were at 2052!!
Yay... they are scheduling an ultrasound for early next week!
Congrats!!!!!!!!! I know lots of girls that had success immediately following a chemical!!!
Happy & Healthy 9 Months!!!!!!!
Congratulations to you too!
I wish you a happy and health 9 as well!

Had my first ultrasound today and it went great! They first did a regular ultrasound, and I could barely see the tiny little 3 mm baby with it's flickering heart. Next, the technician went in vaginally and zoomed in a bit-- and there it was-- a tiny little baby and the heart beating away... she even let me hear the heartbeat!
It was 112 bpm. My due date is April 9th. Thank you for all of you who have stuck around to read my updates, and a happy and healthy 9 to everyone.
