Hello,

What you describe is not a chemical pregnancy.  The term chemical pregnancy usually applies to a situation in assisted reproduction when a low hCG level is detected, but a developing embryo is never detected.  

What you report sounds to me like you need to be evaluated for a possible ectopic pregnancy versus an early intra-uterine pregnancy.  I suggest you continue close follow up with a physician.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
