Who do chemical pregnancies affect?

Anyone who can become pregnant can experience a chemical pregnancy. You may be more likely to notice a chemical pregnancy if you’re trying to conceive through in vitro fertilization (IVF), since these pregnancies are monitored so closely. IVF alone isn’t a risk factor for chemical pregnancy, though.

Your odds of experiencing an early miscarriage increase if:

• You’re 35 or older.
• You have an atypically shaped uterus.
• Your hormone levels are too high or too low.
• You have a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
• You have thyroid disorders, diabetes or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Talk about potential risk factors with your healthcare provider. Together, you can come up with a care plan to address any underlying issues that may be negatively impacting your fertility.
