Also, I *think* I know the difference between a chemical pregnancy and miscarriage, so correct me if I'm wrong. Chemical is when you get a BFP but then get your regular AF?

    Copied this off line. 

    A missed miscarriage typically happens within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, most often occurring soon after the fetus has been implanted in the rich lining of the uterus. With a missed miscarriage, the woman has no exterior symptoms of losing the pregnancy because the body fails to "notice" the loss of the baby. As a result, the fetal tissue is not immediately expelled by the uterus. This type of miscarriage differs from what is called a chemical pregnancy, where a woman miscarries early on, and bleeds around the same time of her usual period ? most women who experience this never even knew they were pregnant.

    Thanks Lorange-8. I had a missed m/c. I just didn't know what the terminology was.

    I should have googled it myself.

    PP got it right...Missed miscarriages can even happen even after a hb is seen/heard.  (Like ours.)  Baby stopped developing around 9 or 10 weeks but my body had every symptom in the book and held onto the pregnancy until we were almost 12 weeks.
