Got AF today & PIP of necklace (DS mentioned/pics/ticker)

First, got AF today. It's 34 days since the first day of bleeding with m/c. I'm not sure if that's what to expect from my cycle or if I should even be counting those days or not. It is good knowing my body is getting back to normal but it's harder emotionally than I thought. I feel things have been emotionally difficult this week. I read a poem about m/c yesterday and lost it. I still feel so much pain and I hate it.
On the positive side, I got the necklace put together. I decided to create something after this second loss. For our first baby we planted a hydrangea plant. This baby we lost right around Christmas. I found a lady on etsy who makes casts of actual hydrangea petals so I got that for 1st baby, a vintage snowflake charm (for this last baby) and a gold bar & peridot briolette for DS with his initial on the bar. I have all three of my babies on this necklace and wear it a lot though not everyday. But just having something physical to hold, to touch, to feel is making things a little easier. I don't have two of my babies with me, but I can still touch something that makes me think of them, kwim? Here's a picture (it's not great quality b/c it was too dark and the camera sucks- the necklace is much prettier in person and catches the light)

awww, that necklace is beautiful. I got one that is a heart with two little footprints on it and I had on the back "13wks" engraved (that was how long I carried LO). Then there is a birthstone charm hanging with the heart representing my EDD. When I got it it gave me so much more peace like I will always have my LO with me.
I know it sucks but glad that you got AF and your body is getting back to normal. I am on day 32 since miscarriage and still have occasional spotting so who knows how long before AF visits me. I just hope I don't have to wait 4 more weeks and then have to call the dr. just to take something to get it going. I HATE WAITING....sorry for the rant.
GL with everything!!!

That is a beautiful necklace. I think that having something specially made was a great idea.
I am sorry that having your AF has been so hard for you. I was surprised how hard it was for me when mine came. I hope that you start feeling a little better soon honey. ~big hugs~
That is a beautiful idea. I love that it brings you comfort. I have been thinking of trying to do something to remember my LO. I like the idea of a charm, I was thinking a bracelet charm maybe. It is helpful hearing of your reminder, thanks for sharing.
I got my AF exactly 4 wks after my D&C. It is nice to know my body still works. I know how hard it is. I still have those moments too. Please know we are always here to listen when you need to talk. You'll be in my prayers.
