Has anyone ever had a chemical pregnancy? I just found out I did yesterday and had a vaginal ultrasound and found out I miscarried. I am still trying to cope with the pain but am afraid I won't be able to have a normal pregnancy. I read up on one of sites about chemical pregnancy and one of the causes could be infection of chlamydia. I was infected years ago from my college boyfriend and was cleansed of it then. I am afraid it might have come back to haunt me. Do you think that would cause me not to have children? I am scared and pray that God will help me and bless me with a normal, healthy baby in the future. I just need some hope...

Hi,
I'm really sorry to hear about what happened. I've never had a chemical pregnancy or Chlamydia so I really don't know much about either...but as for wanting to try again and not having a normal pregnancy, I would talk to your doc about it to see what he/she thinks. I'm sure though that you will one day be blessed with a beautiful baby boy or girl and evertying will go great :)

Some one I know at work had a both a m/c and Chlamydia and she has a baby boy thats almost 2 yr old now..and another on the way.
She wasn't treated for the Chlamydia until after her chemical pregnancy ended.

After my m/c I had to have a hystorectomy ... Time line was something like m/c in December 2007, hytso end of May begining of June 2008. I'm so not over the lose of my babies and so not over the whole hysto thing... So I try to stay positive in thinking that other women who still have the chance to get pregnant even though they've lst a baby, will one day have a wonderful pregnancy resulting in a baby :)

Could just be lying to myself but I like to think that way. It doesn't help me much but sometimes its easier to think that way.

Good luck. Take care. And try to keep your hopes up :)

Hello, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had a 'chemical pregnancy' last month. The midwives I see told me that chemical pregnancies are typically congenital problems (and I could have some terms improperly used here) and that the cells don't divide properly. They told me they are VERY common and some women aren't even aware they are pregnant, just figuring their period is late and heavy but nothing unusual.

They reassured me there was nothing that 'caused' it. I hope you don't worry too much about your past infection having an impact on future pregnancies. If you are concerned I would avoid the internet and seek medical advice from an expert. The internet is great for what it is and sometimes quite useful but it can be hurtful when using it to self diagnose.

I will put you in my prayers. Please let me know how you are doing.

I just started a blog today about my experience. You can visit if you want, would like to hear from you. http://everlastingmother.blogspot.com

Best Wishes,
