My heart breaks for the many women on this board who have lost their babies. I have personally lost four. 1 miscarriage at 6 weeks, 1 miscarriage at 11 weeks and 2 very early miscarriages that they term as chemical pregnancies. I just don't understand why so many of us go through this. We work so hard and wait so long and then it's all taken away once it happens for us. My RE says that women have chemical pregnancies all the time but they just don't know it because they aren't doing betas and monitoring everything so closely as we are. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there is a connection between infertility treatment and miscarriage.
The fact of the matter is typically you do not get positive HPT's with CP's as you need a high enough level of HCG in your system to register on a HPT, so if you were a "lay" person you would just think your AF was delayed.
But like you said, it sure is heartbreaking......
Good luck & baby dust.
