Hi Ladies,
I suffered and early m/c in the beginning of August, and today I had what I think would be a chemical pregnancy. I tested three times last week with all positives and AF showed up today. I only told DH and my mom about this. Of course my mother said some comment like," well you must just not have been pregnant."
I called the my drs office today bc I wanted them to at least put this in my chart, so they are aware. The lady I talked to just seemed annoyed that I would be calling about this matter. She just said she'd put it in my chart and hung up.
I guess I'm partly venting and partly asking if other have experienced CPs? Did your dr give you any insight as to why they happen. I feel like I will never get past the 5 week mark of being pregnant.
I know that some of you have suffered with losses far greater than this, and I send my love to you. I can't imagine having to go through such pain.
Re: chemical pregnancies... i have questions
I'm sorry for your loss. I am so sorry that your mom said you weren't pregnant then. It's a common misconception that a miscarriage or chemical pregnancy means you were never pregnant. That is 100% not true, it was a real pregnancy.
I'm sorry hun, but 3 pregnancy tests do not lie. You definitely had a chemical pregnancy. I too, had one, and lost my baby at 5w. I took 3 tests on 10.10.11 and had 3 very strong positives. I then started bleeding exactly 1 weeks later on 10.17.11. I had betas done and they confirmed the CP/MC. My nurse too said that maybe I just got a false positive, but I immediately corrected her... I had THREE positive tests a week ago and was 5w PG. She then told me that I was miscarrying and that it was a CP.
The "good" thing about a CP is that you can try again right away if your emotionally ready. DH and I talked about it and decided we would keep going. I'm 2 DPO right now and we're hoping & praying for a sticky July baby.
Best of luck to you and I'm so sorry for your (very real) loss.
