A chemical pregnancy is considered to be an egg that is fertilised, but doesn't implant properly. Apparently 50% of pregnancies are lost this way, and until the invention of pregnancy tests that could detect tiny amounts, women didn't ever know that they were ever pregnant.

Typically a chemical pregnancy gives you a very faint positive on a test, then the tests after that are negative and the woman gets her period. Hope that helps x
