The physical symptoms stink, but what surprised me was that I had an emotional reaction to seeing the blood. I felt all those same overwhelming feelings as I did when my miscarriage began. In an instant the thoughts and emotions subsided as I realized I was ok, better than ok really  - my body has successfully healed. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm excited that my husband and I can begin to try again, but I feel guilty because that means I am moving forward. As if the loss of our very first little one never happened. 

I'm praying for guidance and acceptance along this journey. I hope each and every one of you are finding the peace you need as well.
