What is a biochemical pregnancy miscarriage?

Patient's question:

The baby in my stomach is already over 4 months old. The prenatal check-up said there was a biochemical pregnancy and miscarriage. What is a biochemical pregnancy and miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

So-called biochemical pregnancy refers to the release of human chorionic gonadotropin after the sperm and egg combine, but the fertilized egg fails to implant in the uterus and does not result in a successful pregnancy. The causes are related to the fertilized egg, the uterus, autoimmune factors, and psychological factors. Generally speaking, experiencing a miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy (around four months) is not common and should not be attributed to biochemical pregnancy. It is more likely caused by other factors.
