I don't know what happened. On monday I started bleeding real heavy and went to the Drs. They drew blood then and more yesterday to check my HCG levels and they were super low

(7 on Monday and 0 yesterday) so the dr said that most likely my fertilized eggie did nt take, could not grow, something along those lines. I was devastated but I feel alot better about it now. Ready to move on. I had read a post earlier about chemical pregnancies and the poster had said that if we weren't such obsessive testers, we wouldn't have even known we were pregnant to begin with. Which is true, my bleeding just came a week late really. But now I have no clue when my cycles will be back to normal. The doc said it would take about 2 months, but why wait :}??!! Oh! And if anyone has experienced this, can you please let me know how long until your'e cycles were OK? Thanks!!

Hey Donna. I just went though pretty much the same thing. I m/c at about 5 weeks and had an HcG level up until this past Monday. My doc said that my next period may be off, but there is no reason to delay trying. My last blood test was Monday and my HcG level was 2.5 and I just ovulated yesterday. I was kinda shocked that it came this soon and really wasn't ready for it. We bd yesterday but I'm not sure it was the best timing, we might have missed it, hopefully not. Anyway, I started my cycle the day I started bleeding with my m/c (I didn't know it was a m/c at the time) so I o'd on cd13, which is pretty normal for me.

Hope this helps. GL

Donna,

I had a chemical pregnancy in July. I had a fairly normal cycle up until the time I was due to O. That cycle I didn’t O at all. It lasted a week past when I would have started, and I had about two weeks of spotting/light bleeding. It could have been due to stress that I had around the time I was due to O. Anyways, things are looking good for cycle #2. I felt the same way as you the first day. Then I realized that I got preggo once, I could get it again. Best wishes.
