I'd like to start with admitting that I'm unsure how all of this works. I've never used a forum, or even anything similar, so please be patient with me.

I lost a child in October, due to Renal Agenesis, at 20 weeks. I only took a week off from work at the time, because I needed to get out of the house and back to some form of normal. My due date was Feb. 16, 2009, and I'd asked my boss about taking that day off, so that I could react/respond however I needed to that day. I didn't want to have to pretend to be ok if I wasn't. I was told that I should just come on in to work, and try to keep busy in order to keep my mind off of things. Well, my brother and his wife were due to have their daughter on Feb 20, 2009, and the dr. decided to take her early (on the 10th). I didn't handle it very well. I honestly just thought I might lose my mind. So I took a couple of days off from work to get back into a decent frame of mind. Now I've a case of a stomach virus which meant I had to take a day off, and I have an appointment with a specialist next week which means another day off. My boss seems upset with me that I've had to take a couple of days off so close together. I'm afraid I'm going to get fired. I don't know how to handle this! I work in a Chiropractic office, so I can't go to work sick, and the Dr. appt next week is for a specialist who only takes new patients on certain days of the week, all of which are working days for me, so I'll have to take off. If I don't go to the appt next week, it's going to be June before I can get in. My hubby and I want to find out if it is safe for us to try to conceive again, or if it is too dangerous. Any and all advice and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,
