There is a kind of pregnancy called: you don't know if you have a miscarriage! Its name is Biochemical Pregnancy!

Biochemical pregnancy – I just hope it's an unfamiliar word to you! In fact, biochemical pregnancy is from pregnancy to miscarriage that you never notice.

Mama Bud wants to ask the sisters: How did you know you were pregnant?

This question, bud mother also asked colleagues and friends around, interestingly, a friend who has been menstrual disorders, actually became pregnant for five months before realizing it, and only after confirming that she was pregnant.

During this period, she completely ignored the menstrual period, thinking that it was just irregular, and also regarded the discomfort in the early pregnancy as a cold, and then took various medicines - to cure colds, to cure appetite discomfort, fortunately, in the end the child was born all healthy and well.

But you know what? There is a kind of pregnancy, from pregnancy to miscarriage is only ten days, everything is silent, you think it is menstrual irregularities, but in fact, the baby has come and gone.

The reason why I want to write about this topic today is because the cousin of the bud mother has just experienced a biochemical pregnancy.

Cousin's menstruation has always been more accurate, this time, delayed for two weeks without news, the cousin will use the pregnancy test stick to test themselves, the pregnancy test stick shows two bars but the color is very light. My cousin hadn't had time to go to the hospital to confirm, and today my aunt came uninvited.

The cousin felt strange, so she went to check, and after diagnosing that the cousin was pregnant, she ran away on her own. My cousin said: I didn't know I had a baby, and the baby passed me by... What a shame.

So, the baby is obviously coming, why should he leave? It's because of the biochemical pregnancy!

So, what is biochemical pregnancy? Is biochemical pregnancy a true pregnancy? Is a biochemical pregnancy a miscarriage? And what causes biochemical pregnancy? ... You must know more about biochemical pregnancy, right? So, let's demystify biochemical pregnancy little by little!

01

What is biochemical pregnancy?

To understand biochemical pregnancy, we must first know the normal conception process: after the sperm and egg are combined, implantation and development on the endometrium.

And biochemical pregnancy, is the sperm egg combined, but for some reason, the uterus rejects the fertilized egg, the fertilized egg is autistic, there is nowhere to go, had to be excreted with menstruation.

Biochemical pregnancy generally occurs within 5 weeks of pregnancy, so the pregnancy test stick can detect weak positives, but according to B ultrasound, it can not find the gestational sac. The symptom is that menstruation is delayed, and then with menstrual blood, some "rotten meat" is excreted.

02

Is biochemical pregnancy really pregnant?

Biochemical pregnancy means that the embryo has implanted and secreted β-hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and can be detected in the current blood, which is indeed a pregnancy from this point of view.

In biochemical pregnancy, although β-hCG can reach the level detected in urine or blood, for some reason later, the embryo has not had time to grow and develop, and it withers. As a result, the β-hCG in the blood also drops until it disappears.

03

Is a biochemical pregnancy a miscarriage?

Biochemical pregnancy is different from what we call miscarriage in the conventional sense, which refers to the loss of clinical pregnancy and generally refers specifically to the termination of pregnancy after the implantation of a fertilized egg.

Although biochemical pregnancy is an early embryo loss, it is actually a failed implantation. Therefore, it is generally not defined as miscarriage.

The reason why biochemical pregnancy is not defined as abortion is because there is another possibility in the clinic: the embryo implants in a place other than the endometrial space, such as fallopian tubes, cervix, ovaries, etc., so that the embryo can not continue to develop normally, natural death.

This means that biochemical pregnancy may be a lost ectopic pregnancy or a lost intrauterine pregnancy.

Therefore, miscarriage and biochemical pregnancy, although they are also embryonic or pregnancy loss, occur at different physiological stages and are not the same thing.

04

What are the symptoms of biochemical pregnancy?

Because of individual differences, biochemical pregnancy is asymptomatic for some people and symptomatic for others. Symptomatic people present with: menstrual cramps and yin bleeding.

Bud Mama needs to remind everyone one point:

A positive pregnancy test means that determining that bleeding occurs after pregnancy does not necessarily mean that it is all biochemical pregnancy. Because sometimes there are indeed bleeding symptoms when the embryo implants.

Because this process destroys the tiny blood vessels on the endometrium, causing bleeding. This kind of bleeding, usually pink or brown or even brown, usually occurs about 10 to 14 days after conception.

Speaking of the symptoms of biochemical pregnancy - it is possible to have the same symptoms as pregnancy, such as: nausea, fatigue, slight dizziness, etc. But it won't last long.

05

What causes biochemical pregnancy?

This may be related to hormonal background, immune factors, chromosomal abnormalities and other factors, and there is no accurate judgment at present.

However, the main cause of current biochemical pregnancy, in most cases, is due to embryonic problems, which may be caused by low-quality sperm or eggs, and other causes may include: abnormal hormone levels, uterine abnormalities, implantation of fertilized eggs outside the uterus, infections (such as Chlamydia or syphilis).

In general, women over the age of 35 are at greater risk of developing biochemical pregnancy than pregnant women of appropriate age, or certain diseases can also lead to biochemical pregnancy, such as hemagglutination and thyroid disease.

06

What should I do if I have a biochemical pregnancy?

Biochemical pregnancy is actually not terrible, and occasional biochemical pregnancy is, in a sense, the result of natural selection. Maybe your body feels it's not right and you choose to give up.

When something like this happens, don't worry too much, just let the sperm and eggs that have been combined break up naturally. Bye bye bye, the next one is more obedient.

Thankfully, having a biochemical pregnancy generally doesn't affect the next pregnancy.

Therefore, when this occasional misfortune comes to the body, there is no need to worry and not to be afraid, as long as you can rest well and recuperate without excessive fatigue, relax the spirit and do not cause psychological load and reduce stress. There is no effect on the next real pregnancy!

However, if multiple biochemical pregnancies occur, you need to be vigilant and seek medical help in time. A thorough troubleshooting is the right choice. And for the baby who chooses to leave, don't worry too much, one day, he will come back and become a real family member with you.

So honey, don't be sad about having a biochemical pregnancy, only if you are healthy and happy, your baby will come again, right?
