[quote=Anonymous]It's called a chemical pregnancy as opposed to a clinical pregnancy. A chemical pregnancy is a pregnancy that can be confirmed only by biochemical indicators - like HCG in your bloodstream. A clinical pregnancy is a pregnancy in which there are clinical indicia of pregnancy - like a sac and fetal pole that can be visualized on ultrasound. The term "chemical pregnancy" does not mean it was not a "real" pregnancy. It just means it was not far enough along that the pregnancy could be confirmed by the clinical indicia of pregnancy; the pregnancy ended before it got that far. I know a lot of people find the term offensive, but really the word "chemical" is not being used to describe the pregnancy itself; it's used to describe how the presence of pregnancy is detected. Either way, it is still a loss of a pregnancy. [/quote]
