What is Chemical Pregnancy? (diceduk dari Google)
A chemical pregnancy is like a cruel joke. You take an early pregnancy test around the time your period is due that shows a faint positive. Naturally, you get excited and start spreading the joyful news that you're expecting. Then, a few days later you get your period and the doctor says, "It was just a chemical pregnancy."
Meanwhile, you're left confused and possibly devastated. The term chemical pregnancy sounds like a false positive pregnancy test, as if you were not really pregnant at all. But the truth is that a chemical pregnancy was indeed a conception and is actually a very early miscarriage.
What Chemical Pregnancy Means:
The term chemical pregnancy means that the miscarriage happened at a point that a missed period and biochemical tests, such as an hCG blood test or a home pregnancy test (checking hCG in urine), were the only evidence that you were pregnant. The miscarriage happened before an ultrasound could have shown a gestational sac.
When the pregnancy develops to the point that ultrasound could confirm the existence of the pregnancy, the term becomes clinical pregnancy. Thus, a chemical pregnancy would be a miscarriage before the fifth week of gestation -- or within about week after your missed menstrual period.
Symptoms:
The primary symptom of chemical pregnancy would be if you begin to have vaginal bleeding shortly after having a positive pregnancy test. Blood tests reveal low hCG levels that are decreasing rather than increasing.
Causes:
Doctors believe that chemical pregnancies happen for the same reasons as most other miscarriages –- probably because of chromosomal abnormalities in the developing baby. It is hard to know for sure what causes these early miscarriages, however, because it is nearly impossible to retrieve any samples for chromosomal testing.
Frequency:
No one really knows how common chemical pregnancies are, but some researchers have theorized that as many as 70% of conceptions end in miscarriage. Women who are not actively trying to conceive and not closely watching their menstrual cycles may have chemical pregnancies and never know it; in other cases, chemical pregnancy could be a reason (but not the only possible reason) why a menstrual period arrives a few days late.
Physical Recovery:
Chemical pregnancies happen early enough that they have little effect on women’s bodies, and in many cases, they can be mistaken for a normal period that is a few days late (or even on time). One 2007 study found that the bleeding after a chemical pregnancy is sometimes even lighter than a woman’s usual menstrual period. The bleeding from a chemical pregnancy might be accompanied by more cramps than usual also, but recovery should be fairly swift.
Trying Again:
With a very early miscarriage, many doctors will say that it’s OK to go ahead and try again right away. Other doctors recommend waiting to try to get pregnant again as a standard answer after all miscarriages, no matter how early. Talk to your doctor about what is right for your specific situation.
Grieving a Chemical Pregnancy:
In many cases, chemical pregnancy might put you in a weird situation from a grieving perspective. Some women don’t feel very sad over chemical pregnancies, whereas others are completely devastated emotionally. People in your life might not recognize the validity of your loss, insisting that you are wrong to grieve because it happened too early for you to get attached to the pregnancy or that “it wasn’t a real baby.”
Regardless of what anyone says, a miscarriage is a miscarriage. You do not have to justify your grief or compare it to anyone else’s grief for it to be valid. A chemical pregnancy was still a pregnancy, and for many women, it’s still a loss of a baby and grief that will always they will carry for their entire lives.
It’s also OK to not be too sad about a very early miscarriage and to decide you just want to try again. Everyone reacts differently to the situation, and there is no single, right emotional response to chemical pregnancy.
If you do tend to grieve chemical pregnancies deeply, and you are actively trying to conceive, think about perhaps waiting to test each cycle until your period is actually late. This way, you do not necessarily have to know about very early miscarriages. Many doctors recommend against early pregnancy testing for this reason.

Tak sedap hati mode
Lately ni, asyik rasa tak sedap hati, tak sedap badan... Mana taknya lebih seminggu saya duk sakit belakang, sakit pinggang, gassy, asyik nak wee wee (pee)dan sore breast... huuu ntahlah... Kelmarin saya tido ngigau sangat teruk, kesian husband... Saya cakap kat dia yang saya mimpi yang saya miscarriage... Betul, tak tipu...
Masa mimpi tu saya mimpi saya jatuh dan lepas tu darah keluar menjijis-jijis... Hua saya menangis semahunya sampaikan bangun tidur tu saya rasa ada airmata kat muka saya...
Husband cakap kat saya, jangan fikir sangat, itu mimpi jer... Ntahlah... Jauh disudut hati... Saya makin tak confident dengan diri sendiri... Nak buat HPT pun takut...
Nak lupakan kesedihan tu, saje ajak hubby gi jalan-jalan dan kitaorang pegi main ice skating... Husband dah pandai, dia laju jer... Saya duk pegang tepi ice rink tu sambil jalan pelan-pelan.. Ade jugakla lepas tangan sekali sekala...
Meh enjoy gamba k
Ha, syok tau. Akibatnya sakit kaki, baik tapak kaki, betis, peha sampaila punggung. Aduhai....
Sebab sy monitor cervical mucus, so far pagi, petang masih creamy lagi. Cuma masa 11pm, ada light brown spotting... Taktaulah sebab apa.... makin xsedap hati... Tapi kalau inilah ketentuan Allah, aku redha.
Ni graf kat FF, 1Dec 2012, CD30, DPO19.... Ya Allah... Bantulah hambamu ini....

HPT v/s Fertility friend
23 November 2012
Hmm pagi-pagi tadi saya POAS (pee on a stick) before mandi nak pegi kerja... lepas tu biarkan sekejap.
Lepas-lepas mandi tu kalau mata saya xsalah lah, ada faint line... Actually very-very faint line. Memula pandang macam takde, lepas tu tengok kat lampu putih.. Eh adalah... Tak sempat nak ambik gamba sebab nak pergi kerja... Alhamdulillah kalau ini benar-benar rezeki dari Allah.
Google punya google, saya rasa gambar ni paling similar dengan HPT saya pagi tadi...
Saya pernah belek-belek HPT sebelum-sebelum yang memang takde nak sangkut line langsung pada HPT tu...Kali ini, insyaallah mata saya still ok lagi, memang ada cuma very faint one..
Tapi tak nak too excited, tengok next HPT macam mana. Harap dapat double line yang getting darker and darker from time to time. Actually before this saya tak pernah dapat second line. Even faint line pun takde. Memang big fat negative dengan sesungguhnya. Kali ni rasa ada perbezaan nya...
"Ya Allah, makbulkan doa hambamu ini... Jadikan aku sebagai perempuan yang sihat dan subur dan mampu mengandung dan melahirkan anak dengan baik dan kurniakanlah kami zuriat yang baik dan sempurna".
Temperature as of today Alhamdulillah. Masih di tahap yang tinggi 36.65C. Harini CD22 dengan DPO11- Harap FertilityFriend ni accurate lah yer... :)
Debaran makin terasa... Harap sangat double line berterusan, Insyaallah...

Faint Positive HPT
Saya found out that this article was really good for woman who get faint positive at their HPT.
Thank you for preparing such a good article.
Boleh refer pada item bawah sekali untuk tunjukkan berapa lama line tu akan getting darker, if you are really pregnant. So jangan panic ok kalau jumpa faint line.
Kalau betul-betul pregnant, line tu akan nampak 100% bright dia lepas 22 hari... Peace :)
I took a lot... these are just the ones I kept. I
ditched *all* the cheap internet tests which were awful. Either huge
evaporation lines showing up hours after the "valid test time" or no
positive when other tests were picking it up just fine.
4/27/04 Dollar Tree New Choice, negative
4/28/04 FRER, negative
4/29/04 Dollar Tree, POSITIVE
4/30/04 Dollar Tree HPT+, Dollar Tree OPK(faint), FRER (evaporation late line, very, very faint.)
5/1/04 Dollar Tree HPT, positive
5/3/04 Dollar Tree, positive
5/4/04 Equate, FRER, Dollar Tree OPK (all positive)
5/6/04, Equate, OPK
5/10/04 Dollar Tree New Choice positive
5/10/04 "Other" Dollar Tree tests.
Each 2-second "stage" in the image represents about 10 seconds. The last two bits last longer because they took longer. Yes, the test line was coming up before the control line was finished! I did an OPK and HPT side by side. Here they are, without animation:
Note the top test, the ovulation predictor... the control line actually ends up lighter than the test line...
...by quite a lot!

A triphasic chart shows three levels of temperatures: pre-ovulation, post-ovulation, and then a second rise around 7-10 days after ovulation. Some women with charts that show this pattern turn out to be pregnant. But many do not. Likewise, your chart does not need to show this kind of pattern for you to be pregnant. Whether or not you are pregnant, progesterone, the hormone responsible for raising your temperature after ovulation, generally peaks in the middle of your luteal phase and this can cause this kind of pattern whether or not you are pregnant.
A triphasic chart can be promising, however, because progesterone levels generally increase after implantation (7-10 days past ovulation) in conception cycles, and sometimes this results in a triphasic pattern. If your chart shows a second significant thermal shift that begins 7-10 days past ovulation, Fertility Friend will indicate a triphasic pattern in the Pregnancy Monitor. A triphasic chart, however, is not a definite sign that you are or are not pregnant. It is just increasing your probability if you also have well-timed intercourse. Likewise, you can be pregnant and not have a triphasic pattern. Like all signs of possible implantation or pregnancy, you can really only speculate about it once a pregnancy has already been confirmed.
Lagi satu, saya banyak study tentang implantation bleeding atau spotting. Bila study graf-graf dekat FF ni, kebanyakkan spotting pada DPO8, DPO9 (paling banyak) dan DPO10. Yang ni pulak article tentang Implantation Bleeding and Spotting.
Implantation Bleeding and Spotting and Symptoms as the first Pregnancy Sign and Symptom
Implantation bleeding is one of several typical pregnancy symptoms and pregnancy signs. Implantation usually happens around 6-12 days after ovulation and fertilization.
Signs of implantation oan as a possible pregnancy sign and pregnancy symptom include:
Implantation cramps: Light cramps inside the uterus.
Implantation spotting or bleeding: Short, brief spotting (a couple of drops of light or dark blood).
A second temperature shift on the temperature curve.
A temperature dip at about 7-10 days after ovulation.
Most women have no subjective symptoms (symptoms that are not precisely measurable) such as bleeding or cramps, at the time of implantation. However, some women report drops of blood and/or light cramping.
These symptoms can happen with or without conception and implantation. These symptoms and chart patterns frequently occur on charts that do not result in pregnancy.
Why do these Implantation symptoms occur?
Implantation is the attachment of the fertilized egg to the uterine lining. This happens when the fertilized egg (now called a blastocyst) has completed its travel through the fallopian tube and adheres to the lining of the uterus. Implantation happens on average 9 days after ovulation and fertilization with a range of between 6 and 12 days.
Implantation bleeding is just one of several typical pregnancy symptoms and happens around the time of implantation. Implantation bleeding is often also called implantation spotting. Implantation bleeding or spotting does not usually look like a regular menstrual period but is scanty and usually a pinkish or brownish discharge. and it usually happens around 6-12 days after ovulation and fertilization, within 1-2 days after arrival of the blastocyst in the uterus, usually around 9 days after ovulation (dpo), with a range of 6-12 days.
At the time of implantation bleeding, the blastocyst is barely visible to the naked eye, probably smaller than the dot above the letter "i." Once implantation happens the blastocyst becomes the embryo.
The blood pregnancy test usually becomes positive within 3-4 days after implantation, and the urine pregnancy test usually becomes positive 4-5 days after implantation.
Kalau CD27 atau CD 28 saya belum datang AF, saya nak buat HPT.... Doakan saya yer kawan-kawan...

Awas, sape mabuk darah jangan baca!!!!!
Diceduk sepenuhnya dari En Google... Yang ni tentang implantation bleeding pulak... Aish tak senang duduk sebenarnya...
What is Implantation bleeding?
Implantation bleeding is a common sign in the early stages of pregnancy. But not every women get this sign. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brown discharge. It is similar with menstrual bleeding. But it is not easy to determine a spotting as an implantation bleeding or a sign to have a period. Menstrual spotting will always pick up a heavier bleeding.You can try to differentiate both of the bleedings by looking the date you get spotting. If it occurs a week after ovulation, it is most likely an implantation bleeding. But if it occurs very close to the time of period, it is more likely just part of menstrual bleeding.
What is implantation bleeding?
You have to know about process of pregnancy to understand. After ovulation, women’s egg will wait the sperm in fallopian tube. If the sperm success to fertilize the egg, the egg will come down to the womb and implant itself into the line of uterus. When it happens, it will bleed. The bleeding is named as implantation bleeding.
Implantation bleeding occurs to about 20-30 percent of expectant mother. If you have spotting before your period while you expect to be pregnancy, you need to give full attention this sign. If you are indeed pregnant, implantation bleeding will be followed by another signs of pregnancy. You can take a test of pregnancy at least ten days after ovulation if you suspect pregnancy.
Implantation Bleeding
The symptoms of implantation bleeding are mild cramping, swollen breast, and bloated abdomen. Sometimes, cramping might tend to last for a few months or until the delivery. The other signs that tend to accompany bleeding are mood swings, nausea, sensitive breasts, vomiting, fatigue, food cravings, and a hike in the temperature of the basal body that lasts for over 14 days.
Implantation bleeding occurs just once in a cycle of pregnancy. It is a normal thing in pregnancy. If it happens to you, just take a rest, the bleeding will stop by itself after the implantation take a place. But if the bleeding comes again after implantation bleeding, contact your obstetrician soon. Perhaps it is the sign of abortus.
Ni picture pasal implantation bleeding dari Google
Yang ni real bleeding of mine
Ngeri kan... Aduhai... Nak buat macam mana, inilah takdir yang Allah tentukan untuk saya... Saya sebelum ni ada baca sikit2 tentang benda ni, yang saya tahu, spotting brownsish atau pinkish. Tak sangka la pulak yang betul2 merah ni wujud rupanya... Apapun yang berlaku... Saya redha, cuma saya harap sangat ianya bukan bad sign untuk saya... Aminnnnn.....
Yang kat bawah ni BBT saya, yang mula-mula adalah BBT yang saya tak ubah apa2 data...
Bleeding at CD19
Ya Allah saya bleeding... Dikala saya mengharapkan saya ovulate pada hari ini ataupun telah ovulate, where i am not so sure.. ini hanya base on BBT saya.
Bukan ape the last 2 months, BBT saya seems normal. I am happy with it. Ntah kenapa around 10.20am bila saya pegi toilet dan jumpa bleeding saya jadi panic. Oh panic attack gitu... Kalau orang yang xpanic xtaulah kan.. Saya panic sebab tak pernah kena...
Kalau tengok kat temperature tak lah haywire kan... temperature agak consistent sebenarnya...
Maaf saya tak dapat share picture darah tu, takut ada sesiapa muntah. Tapi dia memang fresh blood, merah dan bukan spotting. Terus bagitau boss nak jumpa doctor kat opis. Turun-turun ramainya manusia... Adoi sabar je lah..
Husband pun asyik message pegi jumpa dr cepat... lepas tu message lagi dah jumpa belum.. dia pun risau rasanya...
Tunggu punya tunggu at last sampai turn, explain kat doctor, nak advice dari dia jer macam mana. Then bagitau history yang saya ni retroverted uterus bla bla bla... Bincang punya bincang... Doctor tak nak kasi any ubat untuk stop darah. Tunggu sampai 7hari. It might be normal menses, it might be bleeding or spotting it 1 day only and it might happen because of hormone factor, stress, implantation dan sebagainya...
Doc just advised " u kena makan pemakanan yang sihat ok" "makan ikan, sayur, susu sebab darah u keluar" dengan bertenangnya... hua hua... "ok baiklah doc."
Kawan-kawan sekalian... Tolonglah doakan saya sihat ya... Itu jer doa saya... Mengharapkan ianya bukan bad sign untuk saya :(
Masih lagi tak sedap hati... Saya duk google sana sini...Based on forum ada feedback yang macam ni:
"According to the book Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler, a day or 2 light bleeding right around ovulation is normal. It is another fertitlity sign that can help us identify where we are in our cycle. Its usually the result of sudden drop of estrogen just before ovulation & tends to occur more often in long cycle.
I personally have this kind of bleeding and had a cycle length of around 35 days. Was pretty worried initially & even had an ultrasound done to check for cyst but everything turn up fine. But after reading the above mentioned book, make me feel really relieved." Sejuk sikit hati... Tapi terlalu awal untuk mengatakan apa-apa... Saya berharap say sihat. Itu aje... Mengharapkan doa kawan-kawan juga...
Kalau based on BBT saya rasa macam ovulate, tapi hakikatnya apa berlaku dalam badan saya, Allah SWT jer yang maha mengetahui...Kalau prediction saya silap, saya pasrah, saya bukan tuhan.
Kalau berterusan, mungkin menses yang datang terlalu awal... cuma agak pelik sebab temperature saya tinggi pagi tadi berbanding hari-hari sebelumnya.
Saya boleh buat kerja macam biasa cuma ada pening sedikit start dari masa dekat klinik tadi. Takpe pun cramp macam nak period atau sakit belakang... Rasa rileks jer... sebab tu terkejut bila nampak darah...
Apapun berlaku, saya redha, saya harap sangat bukan bad sign untuk saya... Amin ya rabbal alamin....

Body Basal Thermometer
Ha.. saya agak tak puas hati dengan cycle kali semuanya gara-gara suhu nampak stagnant jer... eee tak suker.. So sy tau yang saya kena cari Body Basal Thermometer ni supaya lebih accurate dan nampakla perbezaan temperature on daily basis. Bila tengok kat farmasi ada la brand OMRON tapi mahal la pulak, harga nak dekat RM100 ade jugak yang jual RM100++
Err bajet agak lari bulan ni sebab banyak duit terbang untuk hal-hal rumah.
Bila survey-survey dekat internet, ada satu website ni nama dia Hamil Comel, website dia http://hamilcomel.blogspot.com
Sebelum ni pernah beli OPK dengan HPT kat website ni. Tak mahal harga dia RM25= 12 pieces ok la kan.Yang thermometer ni pun tak mahal RM 36 inclusive postage, ok la kan...
Lepas bayar, esok tu dia post dan dah pun sampai... Ha dah boleh guna... Lebih semangat la menyukat suhu lepas ni... :)
