To everyone else this seems super mundane and nothing to celebrate. Even though we're not planning on TTC for quite a while, I'm VERY excited to have gotten my first AF post M/C as of yesterday evening!
I'm also really proud of myself because, nearly two weeks ago, I thought that I may be ovulating, based on my mucus, and suspected that my period would be here around this time--so glad I'm in tune with my body and know how it works enough to be this accurate.
I also found my good BBT thermometer so I've started charting again as of this morning.
I'm really excited that my body is getting back to normal!
*I am no longer regularly posting on TB because of the fucked up debacle of Jan 2015 when administrators banned long-term members and mods with no notice and completely dismantled a community full of women who cared about each other. If you see me posting it's only to give support to a poster who needs it or to post something important enough that I need to say. I am no longer responding to anything other than issues that affect people who I care about*

Yay! I got mine on Sunday and was super stoked too. Partly for ttc reasons and partly just psychological. I'm all about checking out my CM. A few months ago I was clueless that my body gave me such signals. :-/

Oh my gosh! You ladies are so wonderful. Thank you for your excitement!
I thought a lot about my little girl yesterday, before I knew that AF was coming, I daydreamed about her coming to say goodbye to me--maybe she knows that now we can give her a little brother or sister to carry on her spirit.
Congrats! AF finally showed up for me today too! It made me feel like I'm 21...so relieved to get my period...but for such completely different reasons!
@CallaLily30 hang in there...your day will come and then we can all celebrate this phenomenom that only WE understand here!

Ughh! My stupid idiot doctor is a stupid idiot! GAH!
I had a follow up today and saw a doctor that I don't usually see (I've only seen him a few times). He was a big spazz when I started getting a little dizzy on the last day of my miscarriage and stuck me in the hospital for observation. Now he had me get an ultrasound today that shows that there's clots and blood and tissues in there and, even though 3 weeks ago I had a sono that showed NOTHING in there except thick uterine lining, he's convinced that this isn't really my period and that there's something HORRIBLY wrong with me. Next week I'm scheduled to go again, but I'm seeing my regular, much more rational doctor.
I just wanted to scream at him and tell him to stop taking away my little ray of sunshine. Oh my god. If I'm not allowed to get excited about my period then what else is there!?
