Hello guys,
My wife and I recently experienced a devastating miscarriage. We followed the process of IUI precisely and it worked on the first take. Things were going smoothly until the water broke after 13 weeks. I'm 43 years old and I'm scared I may never have kids now. I know that may not be true but my fears are kicking in. We are open to adoption and or trying again. Its only been a week and a half but today has hit me super hard. We are back to work next week after 2 weeks off and I'm not ready for this reality.

First of all, condolences for what you are going through. I am sure all emotions are very raw at this stage.
We are based in the UK and are seeing more and more companies providing support and time off for employees who are affected by miscarriage. I hope that you can have a conversation with your boss or another member of staff who can help with your integration back into work.
I think fact you are considering your future options at this stage is a good sign and in time may lead to hope of a bright future with your own or adopted children if that is the path you choose.
I wish you all the best over the coming weeks and months. Let us know if you need any further help
