I chemical pregnancy is essentially when your hormone levels detect a pregnancy but there is no fetus.
It is a very early M/C.

Fertilzation occurs and it might implant in the uterus, leading to an early positive HPT. There is something wrong with the zygote though and it is expelled, usually at the same time as when your period is expected. Most people would not even know they had a chemical pregnancy unless they test before their period is late. Thats one of the issues with testing too early.

I can't believe this exists.
I was just going to ask...how would you know if you even had one.
It's such a terrible thing.

You would test positive on an early HPT.

Yes, this is such a horrible thing and that is why sometimes its a better idea just to wait until you are late to avoid undue stress and hurt from one of these happenings because if you wait 1 more day sometimes you would never know and just consider it AF which to some is devestating but not as devestating as knowing you had a chemical preg. 
There is so much that can go wrong that sometimes I think it causes us more stress. Ignorance is bliss but I still try to learn EVERYTHING about whatever it is I am going through
