So very sorry for your loss hun, I hope you and your man are coping ok and that you're getting all the love and support that you need. I had a very similar experience (discovered a 'missed miscarriage' at 11 weeks and had a D&C). I found the physical recovery fine (didn't really feel any pain or discomfort, just bled a little which stopped after a week) so I guess I would have been able to go back to work after a day or two (but then, I work sitting down). The emotional stuff knocked me around far more though, so I took a week off to let myself cry and process what had happened. Fortunately I have a very accommodating workplace.
Give yourself as much time as you need. I think it's healthy to allow mental and emotional space for what has happened rather than 'jump back in' to life too quickly, if you know what I mean?
Your hospital staff should be able to provide you with some more 'medically specific' info about what you can and can't do, recovery times etc, post-procedure.
