A chemical pregnancy is..." A pregnancy in which although the egg and sperm have united, the pregnancy ends before the fertilized egg is securely embedded in the uterine wall and the menstrual cycle is suspended".`I got this info from one of my books called "How To Prevent Miscarriage" by Stefan Semchyshyn, M.D. A great book that I would reccomend to anyone trying to conceive!!
