Ok I just have to share this with you guys, because you are literally (not figuratively 😉) the only people in my life who will get me right now.
Today is the first day of my first period after the miscarriage. I was prepared for a really heavy, painful one and the pit of despair. Honestly it's no worse than my normally heavy and painful periods, and I just felt a bit sad. Nothing overwhelming by any means. Then I did my maths...!
CD16, 17 and 18 are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! (And I'm not on call that weekend 👍)
Pre pregnancy these were always my best days, almost always ovulating on CD18. I've got the ovulation strips at the ready, because who knows if I'll have old normal/ new normal/ no flippin normal!
Basically today when I'm expected to feel some sense of loss, I don't. I feel almost annoyingly optimistic and hopeful! (This type of behaviour would not go down well in the support groups, they are for other people.)
