Chemical pregnancy’s

It might not be you. What is DH/DP doing in terms of lifestyle?

paternal epigenetic factors transmitted through seminal fluid and sperm actively contribute to placental development

basically sperm is responsible for placenta development and creating a supportive environment for embryo implantation, growth and overall pregnancy success.

If a man smokes weed for example, it can hugely increase the risk of miscarriage. His lifestyle (smoking, drinking any alcohol) & his overall diet have a huge impact on successful pregnancy. Is there anything he can do to improve your chances of success?

My partner could not be any healthier (Doesn't smoke, drink, or even eat sugar), and yet here I am after 2 chemicals in a row, about to try again. Terrified of another so I feel you girl

Anybody else so fed up of seeing that faint line not progress and end in yet another period. 3rd time for me now I’m exhausted over it. What more can I do 😔😩

I don't want to sound dismissive, obviously every chemical / loss is difficult and disappointing but statistically there is a chance that every woman experiences multiple chemicals time after time but just doesn't realise as not actively testing early.

I would probably try to avoid testing unless you were maybe 5 or 6 days late going forward. Just to try to give you a more accurate result.

Yes this. It’s very normal, but we’ve only been able to see it in recent years due to early tests. Most women don’t test that early so they would never know.

As technology changes, women will test earlier more and more. It can’t be avoided. It’s better to spread more knowledge of chemical pregnancies and how common they are, provide support if needed. At the moment because it’s not that talked about it can be more difficult to go through. For me personally it has made me feel there’s something wrong with me, worried about my progesterone and other things.

to be honest it would just be nice if doctors acknowledged this and said ‘hey this is normal’ instead of the constant messaging of ‘it’s not a real miscarriage, most women don’t even know, stop testing’. Btw I’ve never used FRER and all my chemicals were caught with normal tests at day of my expected period and days when I’m late.

Chemical pregnancies are important information in that you know the sperm is meeting the egg. The issue is either remaining implanted, or something wrong with the embryo itself. Something like DNA fragmentation from sperm being exposed to too much heat is easily a cause of early loss, and extremely easy to fix.
