Chemical Pregnancies

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
My doctor said I could be having a chemical pregnancy. Hopefully I will get a true diagnosis on Tuesday. I would be 7 weeks 3 days today, isn't this a little late for a chemical pregnancy? My LMP was 11/6. If it is a chemical pregnancy, will I pass a sac? There was  no sac seen on the u/s.

    First of all, I'm very sorry that you are having to experience this.  To answer your question, it has been my understanding that a chemical pregnancy usually happens in the 4th or 5th week of pregnancy.  The egg does not implant correctly, and basically it is like you are getting your period late.  My first loss was like this.

    that seems awful late for a chemical pregnancy. Normally you'll get "AF" within a few days of your positive pregnancy test. I did and everyone I know that's had a CP did.

    You shouldn't be passing much more than clots with a CP b/c the key to a CP is that the little fertilized eggie couldn't attach properly and turn into anything, so I would assume there's no sac. Did they see anything on an u/s?

    Maybe they're calling it chemical if your betas never grew up above a certain point? I'm not sure. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I'm very sorry for your loss.

    Thank you guys for the support. Although I have such a supportive family, I really dont feel like talking to them about it. My period was due over 3 weeks ago, so I'm confused as to how this could be a chemical pregnancy? There was no sac seen on the u/s at all, the first at 5 weeks and the second 3 days later. I just want to know whats going on!!! I am calling the dr tomorrow, but my appointment is set for Tuesday.

    I'm very sorry about your loss! I just had a chemical pregnancy at about four and a half weeks... This does seem quite late for a chemical pregnancy. Definitely ask your doctor!
