Thank you. But, really, I wonder how many women are indecisive - as I was - and let their lives carry them into a marriage or relationship that includes one or more kids that they'd be better off without. You know what I mean? I think maybe I had it easier than I deserved.

All but one of the miscarriages happened while I was still 20 - 25 years old, so I think my body bounced back pretty quickly and completely.
I must have misunderstood the bit about "spontaneous abortions." I also seem to remember the procedure for the "cleanup" after an incomplete miscarriage being called a DNC (and that it was short for something like "Dice-age and Cut-l-age"), but when I tried to look it up years later, I found nothing of the sort. I wondered if it wasn't some sort of crude medical practitioner's slang for the abortion procedure (which is basically what the "cleanup" procedure is), or if I just completely misunderstood what they were telling me.
