Welcome preggoeggo, sorry you have to join us here it is a **** thing to go through. I hope it is not long before you are utd again, it can happen quite quickly after a mc (seems to for me). I'm not sure how far along you were but you might get the spotting for a while. I had a few cycles that were a bit wacky afterwards but that is very normal. Hugs for you.

Alison - you were talking about the difference between a chem and an early mc - with a chem it *does* implant - or start to, or implant partially at least as that is how you get the hcg, but in my mind the difference is with a chem my hcg seems to be already going down again by 14dpo when af should arrive, whereas with a mc it can keep going up for a while. I'm sure that is not the technical definition but that is what it seems like to me. By 14dpo my hpt are usually lighter and definitely not darker with a chem. I also kinda think of a chem as being earlier than 5 weeks but would class as an early mc anything after that. But as I say, that is just what my head thinks. I've gone an d had a big bunch of blood tests so we will see if they have anything interesting to say. My progesterone has always been very good the times they've tested it so ????
Hi Smamfa,

Thankyou and same to you if you are currently TTC

My understanding of a Chemical Pregnancy is an egg that is fertilised and implanted, but never grows into an embryo. So if it spontaneosly miscarrys before it grows enough to have a heartbeat, it is classified as Chem. Thats what was explained to me anyhow but as I see when i google it, there are many different ideas of what it is. Not that it matters either way - from the moment I saw those positive tests it was a baby to me.
