Would it be acceptable to call into work for today and Wednesday? I'm waiting for my body to recognize the fact that I have a blighted ovum. Yesterday I was spotting and cramping. Today the cramps are worse but the spotting hasn't showed up yet again today. But it will give me sometime also to contact my doctor as well. I just found out about all this on Saturday so work doesn't even know yet. They knew I was going to a second ultrasound to see if everything was okay or not though. Also what should I even say to them? Based on how I am feeling I except for it to happen very soon. I feel just like if not a little more crampy like when I get my period. And I dont want to be at work that first day at all.

Update: even though I only asked for Monday and Wednesday off my work was nice enough to give me the week. Saying as much as take the time I need. Among offer any sort of help I needed. So thankful for where I work and who I work with. 💙💙💙 making this a much easier time for me.

Yes, it would be acceptable to call into work. I’m not sure how many people you had told at your work, so I don’t know how much you want to share. I think tell your boss what’s going on so they know you have a very legitimate reason for missing work. Even if you don’t have a physically demanding job, you probably need some time to emotionally process everything. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I called in and talked to the one who gets there at like 7 am. I think he knew something was wrong being we dont open till 10 but i called at 8am. I asked about the schedule. Asked about coverage. And he said that something should be able to be done. I then told him why (he knew pretty much everyone in my direct are knew) and he just told me to let him and our lead and manager finger it out. That in no way do they expect me in. I told him I'm going to try to come back Thursday. He said if even then I need more time just let them know. I then got a text from my manager who said that he didnt know what to say. If I needed anything to let him know and that he was sorry. So I know the message of me not being there tonight and Wednesday got heard. (Scheduled off on tuesday). I love working with these people. They are like a second family. It upsets me not to be there and they know that but they told me I need time for me right now.
