Chemical pregnancy
Very early pregnancy that is indicated through a positive pregnancy test only. When applied to IVF, a chemical pregnancy may not be a pregnancy at all, but rather the result of the hCG injection creating a false-positive pregnancy test. This term may also refer to a true chemical pregnancy that may or may not progress to a clinical pregnancy. When comparing IVF Success Rates, “Chemical Pregnancy Rates” are not very helpful.
