First period since abortion

[allthingspinkx]

First period after an abortion and needing a virtual hug. I'm not sure whether it's the hormones that have set me off but I'm feeling especially fragile right now. Crying on and off throughout the day and seeing other people going though pregnancy/with children sets me off.

Hoping it starts to get better each month, I really thought I was absolutely fine and didn't feel affected by it until my period came. I think it's also knowing the abortion definitely worked and the fetus didn't survive.

I know it was the right decision to make, I'm just feeling sad about it and hoping it'll pass quickly. Anyone with similar experiences?

I was rather distraught anyway but when my first AF came it was like a whole wave of sadness him me.
I went on the mini pill which made me bleed for 37 days straight but I still seam to get this cycle of sadness every time the bleeding comes back like it’s hormone related.

Hope you feel better soon x
