Chemical Pregnancy ... does it "count?"

Based on my ute size and hcg levels I was told I had a chemical pregnancy and that the only reason I thought to take a hpt is bc we were ttc. I was told it didnt really count as a pregnancy. Let me add that I have a follow up appt with my REI so yes I will be asking there, but I thought I would ask here while I wait. If it doesnt count, do I have to wait to ttc? When I was in the ER I was told a range of answers from right away, to three months to six months. TIA

I agree it is insensitive. I too wasnt thrilled on the choice wording.

I agree with PPs. Don't take to heart the cruel words of others. They are ignorant to how a woman feels when they realize they are pregnant, viable or not. I'm sorry for your loss.
And to answer the question, our doc said to go ahead and start right away.
BFP#1: 08/30/12 EDD 04/30/12 m/c 09/04/12 6wks
BFP#2: 01/27/13 EDD 10/06/13 missed m/c 02/25/13 9wks
BFP#3: 10/30/13 EDD 07/05/14 Our little dude was born on 07/10/14 @ 2:19p
When I had my CP my dr checked my hcg level to make sure it was down to 0, I was given the ok to continue the next month.
I agree with pp, it does count as a pregnancy, I can't believe the dr said that to you, I am so sorry for your loss!
Thankfully it wasnt my doctor who said this but the ER OB who did. At least I wont have to deal with her any further.
Thank you for the responses ladies

How rude! Of course it counts. Sorry no advice on if you need to wait.

That is a real pregnancy but you don't have to wait to try.
I'm so sorry for what you are going through. Hugs your way and hope things turn around soon.
I am new here, like brand new, and I was wondering if someone could explain to me why they call it a chemical pregnancy.? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, or the wrong place for it. I am just trying to learn as much as I can about everything. Thanks.
This. Also it does count! I would go with whatever your doctor says too. Sometimes ED docs just have no clue/experience in what to say. Usually as soon as they find out you're pregnant they send you to OB, viable or not. They just don't do OB well.
First of all, I am sorry for your loss. It absolutely does count as a pregnancy.
I had a c/p back in 2009 and had a similar experience by being told I was never pregnant. Um, yes...I was. I also had a miscarriage this July and it just really, really sucks to go through any type of loss. I am so sorry.
If it helps you feel better, I did not wait and got pregnant with my daughter the next cycle. Just do what feels right but it isn't absolutely necessary to wait unless your doctor (RE) prefers you to.
I am sorry for your loss, and the insensitivity you have been subjected too. I have not suffered a loss, I can only imagine how you are feeling, and then to have someone say that on top of it, yuck.
I wish you good luck when you decide to TTC again!
Thanks!
My first pregnancy was a chemical pregnancy and my doctor counted it. As for the ER doctor they sound horrible. very sorry you are going through this.
My chemical pregnancy I had to deal with someone else other than my primary since he was away. She told me I was never pregnant and I probably read my pregnancy test wrong. I nicely told her I can see two lines on 5 test and can READ the word pregnant and told the office she was never to treat/talk to me again.
