Learn More about Chemical Pregnancy Symptoms

Please don’t let your expectation go high when you are confirmed to be pregnant within your five-week-late menstruation because later on, you might have chemical pregnancy symptoms (hopefully not!) Wait a minute, what is chemical pregnancy? What are the symptoms? And why are you recommended not to let your expectation high? Let’s figure out the answers one by one here. 

What Is a Chemical Pregnancy?

Alright, let’s start with what a chemical pregnancy is. To be honest, chemical pregnancy can be referred to early phase of miscarriage. True, you are pregnant. But, your egg, which has been fertilized by the sperm, fails to survive. That is why the pregnancy does not grow and it ends up in miscarriage. That is why like what I have written before, it is better for you not to let your expectation go high at least for the whole five weeks after you have been confirmed to be pregnant. And you should really oppress the feeling if the way how your pregnancy is confirmed is through chemical test. And related to such test, you’re going to learn about it in the next part of this article.

Why Is It Called a Chemical Pregnancy?

Perhaps, it is easier to talk about why it is called as chemical pregnancy to figure out more about this matter. Well, the reason why such pregnancy is called as chemical pregnancy is because the pregnancy confirmation is done through chemical test instead of ultrasound test. Chemical test is good to deal with early stage of pregnancy. However, it is not really accurate when it comes to the confirmation of the development of the pregnancy. Different things will happen if you have ultrasound test. When you have been really confirmed to be pregnant through such test, you can see your fetus. And that’s the time when you can really feel like you are pregnant even though the chance for the miscarriage is still there. At least, it will not happen in the early stages of your pregnancy.

What Are the Symptoms?

So, let’s talk about the chemical pregnancy symptoms. Well, to be honest, it’s quite complicated. Many people do not really feel the symptoms. Even if the symptoms happen, they might not really be that obvious. Thus, the people have more tendencies to ignore them. But, there is also a chance for the symptoms to be quite severe like how you have vaginal bleeding. To make it simpler, the symptoms are similar to the miscarriage symptoms. Your tummy will start aching, you have bad temper due to hormonal imbalance, and cramping. It is totally better for you to go to the doctor as soon as possible when you experience those chemical pregnancy symptoms no matter how vague the symptoms are. Thus, you can make sure that you are fine even though you cannot save your pregnancy.
