I was at work yesterday and halfway through the day I started cramping and bleeding like crazy so I left work immediately to go to urgent care. After multiple attempts of trying to draw my blood (my veins were hiding really well I guess) they finally ran my HCG levels and found it had dropped from 900 to 800 the day before when I first started spitting and yesterday to 600.... the doctor informed me that I was most likely going through a miscarriage at the moment and suddenly my body went numb and I just started crying quietly. My husband eventually met me at the hospital and that’s when I just let it all out and cried as loudly as I could, afterwards when I had gotten discharged I had to stop by work to finish up some loose ends and then we went home.

Today I’m trying to get back into the swing of things with my husband and try to keep positive and our minds busy with random errands. I decided I needed some time off tmrw but instead of taking a full day just a half day so I can still keep a daily routine and try to get back into normal day to day stuff. I decided to text my manager and his uncompassionate response really bothered me and broke me inside. Not just today but yesterday as well when I told him I needed to leave to the hospital and told him what was going on he was more peeved that I was leaving and more concerned for my other coworkers being able to “handle” it than for my well being. And when I told him today that I needed some time off tomorrow he just responded “k”...

Did anyone else have a hard time dealing with their work when needing time to heal? What did you guys end up doing and how much time did you need for yourself?

I know everyone’s different but just wanted to hear everyone else’s experience because now I’m not sure what to do since I feel like I can’t talk to my manager who I have always trusted and had a good relationship with.
