LMP 2/28, got positive pregnancy test 4/6, on confirmation appt w/ doc on 4/17 test was negative (I was shocked), blood test also showed same as well as ultrasound in office showed nothing at all.

Doc said either got false positive result (which I know I didn't because all other pg symptoms were there, same as I had in first full term pregnancy)....or it was a chemical pregnancy. hcg now below 2 but period still hasnt come. I have doc appt for next week to start to determine why no AF yet but has anyone experienced this? did it take a while for AF to show up? how long? thanks!

Re: Chemical Pregnancy?

Hi,
I did a preg test 2 weeks ago and it came up positive. Last week I went to doctors because something didnt feel right. The ultrasound showed what's called Gestational Trophoblastic Disease. Its where a gestational sac is present, but no featus is clearly seen. Im still waiting on results from the Hospital to come back. I had to terminate the pregnancy. They said it was not a viable one.
