I just found out that today is Infant & Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day. I guess it's one of those things you don't pay attention to until you've dealt with a loss yourself. I considered sharing my story with facebook, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that.
I did end up telling my supervisor about the miscarriage and requested to work 32 hours per week. I expected her to tell me she'd have to get back to me about it, but she ended up being very supportive and told me that I could start a reduced schedule in two weeks! This has been one of the few blessings in a difficult couple of days.
I also have my first counseling session tomorrow. The fertility center offers counseling for free and it will be nice to talk to someone who specializes in infertility and pregnancy loss. I just hope I don't cry too much, since I'll have to go back to work after the appointment.
A lot of people have asked me if there's anything they can do for me. I'm really not sure yet what I need. If I can think of anything, I will be sure to let you know.
