I had a chemical pregnancy on June 26. I got my period July 3 and it just ended yesterday. Today I took a clear blue ovulation test and it was a solid smiley. I’m supposed to do an HSG this Thursday, but I don’t know whether to cancel it or not. Is it possible that I really am ovulating right now or did the chemical just confuse things with my clear blue?

After 2 years of trying, I got my first positive pregnancy test on June 26. My husband has low sperm motility, and I have PCOS, so we were told our chances of conceiving naturally were lower. We had talked about seeing a fertility specialist eventually, but since we’re still young, traveling, and enjoying life, we weren’t in a rush. We decided to trust God’s timing.
Seeing that positive test was one of the happiest moments of my life. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I took 10 home pregnancy tests because I was in shock, plus two more at my doctor’s office.
My doctor ordered blood work. My first hCG result (drawn June 27) came back at 80. I had actually taken a pregnancy test on June 18 that was negative, so this all happened very quickly.
Over the weekend I felt so happy and truly pregnant. Then on Tuesday something just felt off emotionally. I couldn’t stop crying, almost like I had already lost someone, even before I knew what was happening. I also started spotting. I tried to stay hopeful and rest.
By Wednesday the spotting became heavier, so I went to the ER. Earlier that morning my hCG was 77, and by that evening at the ER it had dropped to 70. My doctors told me this most likely means I experienced a chemical pregnancy (an early miscarriage).
I’m seeing an OB today to discuss next steps, but my heart is broken. I know chemical pregnancies are common, but that doesn’t make it any easier when it’s your first pregnancy after trying for so long.
Has anyone here gone through a chemical pregnancy and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy afterward? Did your doctor recommend any testing or changes before trying again? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or any advice. Thank you

I (18) got a very faint positive pregnancy test last night so I took one again this morning to get another faint, but less so, positive test. About 5 hours later I started bleeding and got really freaked out so I picked up my boyfriend and we drove to the ER. I started cramping and it got worse while I drove to my bf (1 1/2 hrs round trip). I bled even heavier while at the ER and the cramping got worse. They had me do a urine sample and when they came in they said it came back as negative for pregnancy. She asked for pictures of the tests I took and confirmed that they were in fact positive so sent me to do an ultrasound. Eventually the ultrasound came back negative as well and I was told that it was just my period and they said nothing about the fact that I got 2 separate positive tests at home. So my question is, was this a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage situation? Or what else I don't understand?

For some extra info: I have very irregular period and the last one I recall having was about 4 months ago. When I do have them they are very heavy but usually no PMs symptoms besides some back pain and just feeling shitty overall.
Today is Thursday and I had very light bleeding on Saturday and a minuscule amount Friday night. I was also extremely sick on Saturday.
I also had many other pregnancy symptoms but I know those can also be related to PMS.

I had a chemical pregnancy, this is the 2nd in a row. It started on 21/06 and it’s now 25/06. The bleeding is getting lighter now, some intermittent mild cramping but nothing too bad at all. It was heavy at the start, slowed down a bit yesterday, got heavier a tiny bit last night and is now quite light again. It’s pinky rather than full fresh red bleeding now.

I have read conflicting things online. Some things say because the loss was so early (less than 5 weeks) and my bleeding is getting lighter it’s okay to have sex now, but others have said I have to wait till the bleeding stops to have sex again. What do you think?

Sorry if this is the wrong place, I wasn’t sure what sub to post in. Please direct me to the correct sub if this isn’t allowed here- thanks!

Hello! I have a 7 year old already. We started trying again and got pregnant straight away, unfortunately this ended as a chemical pregnancy. We then struggled and didnt seem to be getting pregnant, after around 9 months I was pregnant again! This soon ended again as a chemical pregnancy around 4 weeks 2 days. I had taken folic acid and pregnancy vitamins. The second time hit me quite hard and I’ve been quite down about it, I know chemical pregnancies can be quite common but it doesn’t make it feel any better. I also struggle with quite painful ovulation which is making me wonder if there’s more to this. I’m not sure the doctors would do anything after two chemicals? I did also have a chemical pregnancy before I had my daughter around 8 year ago. Just wondering if anyone else has been through similar, if it’s worth a doctors trip or do I just continue to try and hope it’s just that we’ve been unlucky! Thanks in advance x

Hello, Im currently having my first chemical preganancy/ very early miscarriage. Its been a real emotional rollercoaster. I'm not sure how I'm feeling or how to make sense of it. My husband is supportive but he handles things very differently and understands I'm upset, but wants to move forward (although, its hard to do that while its current). Ive only told my dad otherwise, he is also supportive but says I should maybe think of it as just a late period so I dont dwell and get too upset. Which I understand but we had nearly a week of thinking we were having another baby.

I had a negative pregnancy test at doctors before a routine female appointment, bit disappointing but I wasnt planning on testing for a few days anyway. While away for my husbands birthday, I thought my period came, so used tampon so I could use the spa (steam room hot tub etc). But period stopped and didnt come back so when we got home I did a pink line test. I had a really faint line, almost thought I was crazy until husband saw it too. We had a positive digital test the next day, 1-2 weeks! Cue excitement .. but id been having horrendous cramps since the holiday so knew something wasnt right. Two days later in afternoon, negative digital test. Was so upset. Did another the next morning, was positive. Doctors just told me to wait it out despite pain as I was only 4 weeks gestational. Two days later, lots of bleeding, went to out of hours GP who told me it was a late period due to negative test (didnt think he was right). Next morning, definitive negative digital test. The bleeding and clots and pain have been awful, but I was only 4 weeks 2 days along.

I think its my first experience of this. I do have a daughter but we lost her twin around between weeks 5-7. I suppose that egg was never viable either.

Im sorry for the long post but wanted to give context. I want to try again but worried I was responsible because of the spa, and having a drink away, also im on adhd medicine and I'm not sure if thats the cause.

Anyway I'm quite sad and just trying to deal with this pain amid this heat wave 😞 so I cant even use hot water bottle!
