i had one the first part of August. I was late for my period by like 14 days, and was getting BFN on all HPTs, so I went to the Dr and they tested, and my HCG levels came back around 5, then on the 4th of august AF started, and the dr said it was a VERY early m/c aka chemical pregnancy. It's just a very early, early m/c.

yes, I've had one. Basically this is what happened to me. I began doing HPT's around 11 dpo. I got negatives until 15dpo, when I tested positive with a very very very faint line. You could barely see it. It almost looked like a shadow. I tested the next morning( 16 dpo) and got the same line (no darker). I didn't think anything of it, because I knew that HCG doubled every 48 hours and it had only been 24. So the next morning(17dpo) I tested again. The line was no darker. I was a bit concerned then. My previous 2 pg's showed a darker line (not as dark as the conrol line though)by the same amount of dpo's. I tested the next morning (18 dpo) and the line was gone. I started spotting 12-18 hours later. Then AF/chem. pg happened. My Dr. told me I didn't need to wait before trying again, since the mc happened so early. Hope this helps. And I hope you don't have to go through one. Good Luck, Marcy

Hi there,

I had a chem pg in July. I did a HPT (2 faint, 1 fairly dark) then started spotting 2 days after my + which turned into red bleeding the following day, then a day later took another HPT and barely could see the line, then - HPT. But, don't let this get you down. I got pg the following month --- I am 7 wks pg today!!!!

I was devastated because we were really trying and wanted this badly. I took my mind off it tried to relax and WAALAAA PREGNANT --- and to top it off only BD 1 time. God was standing in my corner this time.

Good luck to you! Don't give up. It is hard especially after seeing that +, your heart leaps out of your chest and you can't wait to tell everyone...then....

Go see your dr. if you haven't already.

Well, I think it's possible I could have had one. I just tested for the first time on Friday (9/13) and got a BFP. Very thick, dark red lines...no doubt. But then at lunch today, I tested again and got a BFN.

THe first test I used an Eckerd hpt and the second a First Response.

I'm scared...I'm at work and the only explanation I can come up with is a chemical pregancy. I had never even heard of one before today, so I'm so scared this is what happened to me....

I have had 2 for sure. The first one I waited until I was a week late for AF and tested +, to be followed the next day by AF showing. I had already made an appt with Dr for blood test so I went anyway and told her what happened. She did a b/t and I had hsg in my system and had to do a follow up to make sure the levels went down. She told me it was very common and meant nothing- not an indication of something being wrong. I had another- more upsetting one where I tested + a day late...a nice beautiful strong + and three days later the same thing. Urgh. Very upsetting and I insisted on tests that time. After waiting for a referral and going through 2 months of testing I have recently found out that I have a uterus malformation that will not let implantation occur, or will m/c early if it does. The Dr figures after 2 1/2 years that there was probably more that I didn't even know about. Each person is different, and there does not have to be a reason for this happening like with me- I hope I'm not scaring you here! I am the exception- this is not normal(my problem). THe chances of conceiving after a chemical pg is very high.

GL to you!

Also something to consider- the amount of HCG that the tests you used are able to pick up. With the FR test was a FR Early or just regular, it is possible, I would call a dr and see if they will test your HCG level.
