Renewed Hope

Today marked the 11th day of this cycle and my 8th acupuncture session. When I started doing acupuncture treatments again in July, she suggested we not ttc for at least 3 months to give my body time to recover and heal from the miscarriage. Surprisingly, she ended today's session by saying she thought our chances of conceiving are good. This is the first time since I began seeing her in April of last year that she thought I was physically ready to conceive. It was a shock. I asked her why she thought that and she said that I seem different. Not only based on what I told her but also because of what she senses from my body (i.e pulse, ovulation symptoms, etc.). Hearing those words released something in me that I can't quite describe with words. The closest would be "relief" and now hope for good things to come. I feel open and ready.
