Biochemical Pregnancy: What You Should Know

Experiencing a positive pregnancy test followed by unexpected bleeding can be confusing and emotionally challenging. This is often due to a biochemical or chemical pregnancy, a common condition where the embryo begins to implant but doesn’t develop further. In this video, Dr. Aarti Rapol, Consultant Fertility Specialist at Cloudnine Hospital, SB Road, Pune, explains why biochemical pregnancies occur, including genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions like thyroid issues, PCOS, or diabetes. She also highlights that having a biochemical pregnancy doesn’t mean future pregnancies will be affected and advises when it’s important to consult a fertility specialist for repeated occurrences.
