I was totally surprised to be sad about my first period after m/c today. I've been focusing on how it is a good thing and means we can move on and start TTC again. I was expecting to be happy/relieved esp. since it happened less than 4wks after my m/c (I think I didn't ovulate). But I'm said, I think it's the finality of it. It's also hard because I have 2 people at work who are very pregnant. I'm not jealous per se, as one of them had a miscarriage and now is having other complications with this pregnancy, it's just the what ifs, "what if I was still pregnant", "what if I was getting my cute bump right now." I think it's also hard with the holidays coming up, I was sooo looking forward to a bump at Thanksgiving and knowing the sex around Christmas.
Oh well, here's to an easter bump...

Re: Sad about 1st Period...
Hugs to you all!!!
Like the idea of an easter bump
- I am more of a beer girl!
How sorry I am to her of your loss. I must say that it is oh so very hard for the first flow, following a loss. You don't know what that experience is going to bring. I lost my son at 19w5d, due to an IC. I was very overwhelmed by the sight of the first flow, because it did mean that it was actually true, that the end was actually here. It will get gradually easier as they happen. Just keep your eyes set on your future and remeber that the sight of a flow means that your body is re-preparing its self for your new bundle of joy.
Tons of hugs to everyone and good hopes to your Easter bump
