A lot of people dont like the term "chemical pregnancy" they feel its too clinical. However for me - it helped to call it that - and the fact that I was actually pregnant (if only for a week) made me feel good that It could happen to me (I have never been pregnant before!) I had +ve POAS but very faint, the blood test confirmed the pregnancy was not going to be viable, I had a cry and was a bit moody for a few days but was overall feeling positive about the experience (I just hope it doesnt happen again!)
Whatever your thoughts though (whether you want to call it a chemical pregnancy or a m/c) it is whatever important for you to call it at that time and the loss is very real for you. Many men just don't get our feelings and obsessions about these things - I have heard that many dont feel a thing till the baby is out and in their arms!
