A chemical pregnancy occurs when hormone levels (levels of HCG) give a positive reading in pregnancy tests but the pregnancy is not viable. The pregnancy ends very quickly in the first trimester.

Chemical Pregnancies occur frequently and often are unknown. Because the loss of the pregnancy occurs so early in the trimester it can go completely unnoticed. With pregnancy tests improving more and more chemical pregnancies are detected. Hormone levels can peak unnaturally at the very beginning of the first Trimester giving a 'fake' reading. This can lead to hopes of pregnancy that are subsequently dashed.

The reason that a Chemical Pregnancy happens is uncertain but it is believed that chromosome mis-matches are the most common causes. It is thought that these are detected by the body at a very early stage and that the body naturally rejects abnormal chromosomes.

Uterine Abnormalities: Abnormalities in the uterus, such as the presence of uterine fibroids, can interfere with implantation, leading to a chemical pregnancy. Hormonal Deficiency: Women with luteal phase defects and other hormone deficiencies have difficulty maintaining a pregnancy due to a lack of hormones. As a result, the body experiences a miscarriage.

A Chemical Pregnancy is not thought to indicate any long term problems and many women will have a healthy baby often unaware that a chemical pregnancy has occurred. Women who seek medical attention have sometimes been able to identify specific reasons which can be cured through surgery or other treatment.

Fibroid surgery or hormone treatment may be a solution for repetitive occurrence. It may be helpful to share your experiences with others. If you do not want to raise the topic with your friends there are many useful blogs online where you can discuss matters confidentially and anonymously.
