A chemical pregnancy is an early miscarriage that usually happens before the pregnancy reaches five weeks and before most women know they\u2019re pregnant. Chemical pregnancies are caused by chromosomal problems with the developing baby. Chromosomes are blocks of DNA, which contain instructions for your baby\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
Between 10-20 percent of all pregnancies end in early miscarriage. But the actual number may be higher because these women didn\u2019t know they were pregnant. \u00a0The loss of a chemical pregnancy may be mistaken for a normal period, or a late period.<\/p>\n
When women start menstruating shortly after a positive blood test or pregnancy test. In this case, the doctor may want another blood test to measure her hCG level. If that blood test shows the pregnancy hormones are decreasing rather than increasing, the diagnosis will be a miscarriage of a chemical pregnancy. They may also diagnose it if there’s a positive pregnancy test but the fetus can’t be seen on an ultrasound.<\/p>\n
If you have any bleeding during your pregnancy, with or without pain, it\u2019s very important to get it checked out.<\/p>\n
These miscarriages happen at such an early stage that they generally resolve naturally and you will physically recover quickly. \u00a0However, your emotional healing may take longer. Any miscarriage, even early ones, can cause you to feel a sense of grief and loss. It\u2019s important to know these feelings are normal and everyone deals with loss in their own way.<\/p>\n
There’s nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage. However, you can help decrease your risks by managing any chronic conditions you have, such as thyroid problems, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or high blood pressure. Avoid smoking, using illegal drugs and other risky behaviors.<\/p>\n
