I hate 'chemical pregnancy' - it makes me think it was all in my head... And that's BS!

IVF is a really hard road, i've discovered. I don't know about you, but if we had conceived naturally, and my period was a week late - I doubt I would have noticed. I've had worse cramps than this before. I think the really hard part is that you *know* there's an embryo in there, and that it's real. And it's almost harder because you've known about it for long time that you have ordinarily.

But having said that - it is 100% real, and a genuine loss, and now there's genuine grief that goes with that.
