I have also had two 'chemical pregnancies'.  But as far as I am concerned, it is a nice way of saying an early m/c.  I had all the symptoms - sore boobs, nausea, peeing all the time....  Our first time (Nov. 07), beta was 5 to 15 to 2; our second time (Apr. 08) beta was 3 to 9 stayed at 9 then down to 4 (and still waiting for AF to show up).  We will be doing further testing for multiple losses - ER wants to make sure I don't have a blood clotting disorder, that DH are compatible, and to check for chromosone abnormalities.

Last weekend I took a HPT and it was +. Later that afternoon it was -  and so were the next 3.
Had my beta done it was 11, they wouldn't confirm pregnancy. Two days later it went down to 3 then next day 2. I'm not sure if its a chemical pregnancy or not, but as far as I'm concerned I m/c because even though they were just cells it was still my baby in there. I had all the symptoms: night nausea, headaches, BIG appetite, thirsty and peeing all the time, like every 1/2 hour. I had all the same symptoms as when I was prego with our son.

I hop your go way way UP!!! So baby dust to you and good luck!!

A chemical pregnancy is a pregancy that ends before it is ever detected by any means other than a test for the chemical Hcg. It is usually due to genetic problems where the embryo could not develop and the body rejects it.
