A harsh reminder?

I finally started my period after having a M/C on Sept 5 and I am not handling it as well as I thought I would. I had wanted my period to come so that things would go back to "normal" with my body and everything. Now that it has started it feels like a horrible reminder that I lost my baby. I was at work when I started having my period cramps and it was like a flash back to losing the baby and it was all I could do to finish my shift. My fiance came to pick me up after work and I just cried. I am hoping the emotions settle down. Did anyone else feel like this with the first period?

I did but I tried to stay positive and it kind of worked. I kept telling myself that my period meant that I was that much closer to being able to TTC again.

I did not, I was always anxious to start the next cycle so we could TTC again. It was a relief to me to have the first one, now the next ones were harder. that was because we were TTC and AF would show, but there was more of a sence of urgency after a miscarriage to get pregnant again

I always get really depressed when I get my first post-m/c period. I'm sorry for your loss, hun.
