This happened to me after 2 previous miscarriages. I was devastated because naturally I was very excited to be pregnant again hoping that this would finally be the one that sticks. sadly it didnt go how I had hoped. However just 3 weeks later I was surprised to find out I had conceived just 16 days after my chemical. The doctor then put me on low dose aspirin once a day to help with deeper implantation (I have thrombophilia which causes tiny blood clots to get caught in the placenta the aspirin also fixes this) and she also suggested I stay in bed for a week (no work or house work) and now i'm 11 weeks and hoping to have smooth sailing out of the 1st trimester. I hope to hear to similar success story from you soon. Good luck and baby dust :)

I'm so sorry hon, I know it hurts, *hugs*. It's very common unfortunately as aprox. 70% of conceptions end in a chemical. Most people don't even know they've had one. I had three but I'm an early tester (12-14dpo). For me it was a good thing I tested early each time because it allowed me to find out that something wasn't quite right and to seek help. Take time and grieve your loss but know that you will be pregnant again soon, take care hon

I had this happen with our 2nd IUI. I was so upset that I took a long break. Next pregnancy was successful though.

I was reading up a lot on it. It says that a lot of women have them, but most don't know because they don't test until they are very late. It didn't stop me from testing early though. It just made me need extra confirmation from the doctors before spreading the word.

I hope that you get a sticky bean soon. Good luck.

So sorry. After this happened to me I stopped testing early. It's upsetting but your body was taking care of you. I hope the next one sticks!

I've had 3. First one was in September of 2010. I got pregnant with my daughter immediately after in October of 2010. Second one was in March of this year -- then had another one in April of this year. Got pregnant with this baby in May.

Good luck!

Yes, this happened to me as well. It was such a disappointment. Basically the egg was fertilized and your body recognized that, but it didn't implant, or it did but didn't stick to the uterus well. It also means there was most likely something wrong the egg or sperm and your body is protecting you from having an unhealthy baby. However, with all that being said, the chances of it happening again are small, and it means your body is working well and you can get pregnant! The best thing is to acknowledge this happened to you, and that was sad for you, and then let go, and get ready to try again. It happens to so many women and is just a part of trying to conceive. I wish you all the best of luck!
