Well, that just sucks. There's not much you can do about it, sadly. Pray, seek comfort with your family, do something special for yourself. We'll be thinking of you.

Awww hunny, I'm sorry=( I know just how you feel. I am at 3/7 pregnancies so I know how it feels to lose a baby. Just know that it was NOTHING that you did or could have done to prevent this. On a plus side, when I had my 1st MC, I got another BFP 3 weeks later...and that BFP just turned 10 years old in October =-)

Many blessings and babydust being sent your way =-)

That's awful. It is little comfort but having your levels drop so low seems to indicate that your body is handling the chemical well. Many women bouce right back for these and have BFPS the next cycle or two. My HCG levels refused to drop and that was honestly worse for me than the MC. My body refusing to let things go, still thinking on some level I was PG and debating with the dr about what to do next... I hope that you do not have to go through any of that and that your body bounces right back. I found it somewhat reassuring to know that at least I COULD conceive even if it did not stick.

From babyhopes.com:
What Is A Chemical Pregnancy?
A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman’s period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.

With the ultra sensitive pregnancy tests on the market today, it is easier than ever to get a positive result 3 or 4 days before your period is due. It is wonderful for those who NEED to know, but does have it’s down side. Early testing shows chemical pregnancies which would not have been detected had the woman waited for her period to arrive.

Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.

What Causes a Chemical Pregnancy
Most chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems in the developing fetus. Other possible causes are inadequate uterine lining, uterine abnormalities both congenital or acquired like fibroids, low hormone levels, luteal phase defect or certain infections.

How can I Prevent Chemical Pregnancies
Most chemical pregnancies can not be prevented. If you have recurring chemical pregnancies, your doctor should be able to investigate and help you formulate a treatment which is best for you. Potential treatments include vitamin B6 (at least 50mg a day), progesterone cream, and baby asprin. Be sure to discuss potential treatments with your doctor.

If infection is the cause, antibiotics prescribed by your Doctor can help.
