just got my first period after an ectopic and today the Dr. told me that my hcg levels reached 1. i guess i should be celebrating the news, i definitely thought i would be when this is all over. but somehow i don't feel like it. i know it's good that my body recovered so soon. it just seems to soon for me, it's like my body's telling me everything is back in order, like nothing happened, when something has happened, something which was traumatic for me. and i steel need time to recover.

just wanted to share, and to know if anyone can relate to these feelings....

I'm sorry you have to AF...but glad that she's arrived. Hormones might be keeping you from truly feeling celebratory, but that's ok. She's bittersweet at best. I'm glad your hcg is down. Know that because the bleed has come so soon, it might not end up being a true AF and cycle like you're used to. Hopefully your body will get back to normal soon, and you'll be able to TTC when you're ready.

Thats perfectly normal, I think. On the one hand it's a relief to have the physical side of a loss over with- but on the other hand it's almost like it's really "over" and that HURTS. Take time for yourself and grieve as much as you need to. I hope you have a good support system but we're here too ((((Hugs))))
