Worst day of my life

I was told weeks ago based on my betas that I miscarried. Over a week later after failed Cytotec they were slowly rising and I was told it must be ectopic and to go to the ER for methotrexate right away. There they found on an ultrasound a baby with a strong heartbeat despite me lightly bleeding since the start of my pregnancy, taking the Cytotec and my horrible betas. My obgyn had horribly misdiagnosed me. They didn’t want to do anymore betas since they found a heartbeat. Today I got my follow up ultrasound and found that the baby had not grown since that last ultrasound and it’s heard had stopped beating. I’ve missed two days of work total which should have been marked as PTO and just got a text from my good friend who is also my boss that because of my “lack of productivity” I’m being demoted. This is literally the worst day of my life and I need to vent something fierce.

So sorry for your loss... I would talk to your boss and let her know what’s going on (you could just say medical issues or family emergency if you don’t want to talk about it in detail) and hopefully they will be more understanding. When it happened to me, I told my boss I was going through a miscarriage and they gave me a grievance day when I was in the ER.. unfortunately I went through a second one less than 2 months later and needed another day off for that also. I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now I hope it gets better soon. Sending you prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Oh my goodness.... I am so so sorry that’s horrible and that doesn’t sound like a true friend honestly... so so sorry again. That is so difficult to deal with on top of your loss. Sending you prayers and positive thoughts 🙏🏼🙏🏼

She’s actually one of my very very good friends (or was, probably won’t be after this) so she’s known the entire time what was going on and knows how hard my last miscarriage in November was on me. I texted her to tell her the ultrasound result that the baby had died and she gives me that news about my job literally minutes later.
