Pregnancy after treatment
A clinical pregnancy is one where a gestational sac, and usually a fetal heartbeat, can be seen on ultrasound. Clinics report clinical pregnancy rates separately from positive test rates because not every positive test becomes a clinical pregnancy, and not every clinical pregnancy results in a live birth.
Also known as: confirmed pregnancy, pregnancy on scan
