CP and question

[ker9171]

Hello everyone, 

I had a positive pregnancy test over the weekend (albeit very faint lines, but still there) and went in for blood work on Monday.  My hcg was 11 and progesterone was 2.2 so all levels were very low.  My doctor called me to basically prepare for a chemical pregnancy, and unfortunately, the bleeding started yesterday.  

I am a bit confused, in a chemical pregnancy, is this my period or not?  I keep reading things online that say it is your period, just starting later, but the nurse told me that I will get my period 2-6 weeks after this bleeding ends, and then i can start trying again after that.

Any insight you have on this would be appreciated, or if you can let me know if you did wait one full cycle after a CP.

Thank you all for your support, and I am very sorry for all the losses everyone on this board has experienced.

First, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm hope you find some comfort being here.

I had a chemical pregnancy last year, and the way my doctor described it, was that it is "basically" your period, but because you had the CP, your cycles will probably be messed up a bit afterwards. I'm sorry I don't have more answers, but I'm sure some of the ladies here will be more helpful!

ker9171, I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no experience with CPs but my understanding is this bleeding is considered like a period. I hope some of the other ladies here can give you more information. Welcome.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My CP'S behaved very much like a period, only slightly longer and I was cleared to try again right away after that.

Hope you find some comfort with us! **hugs**
