I'm so sorry for your loss. Almost the exact same thing happened to me in April. Feel free to PM me; I know how hard it is. Take care of yourself. (((hugs)))
I'm so very sorry. When I had my mc 2 years ago I also just *knew* that something was wrong, literally from the moment I got a positive test. My only advice would be to allow yourself to mourn in a way that feels comfortable to you and don't let anyone downplay your loss or your feelings about that loss. We didn't tell anyone outside of our immediate family so I was able to keep things contained (which is what I wanted and how I wanted to have the situation play out) and that meant no well meaning but inappropriate comments from friends and family to deal with. Be prepared for future pregnancy announcements to feel like a punch in the gut for a while (3 of my friends all had babies in the same month I was due and that was hard).
I'm so very sorry. I never came back and updated on my pg after I announced it but I mc two weeks ago, on my birthday. I've wandered back over to the mc/loss board on the Bump and it's been very helpful. I was only 6w4d when I had mine, but if you have any questions or want to talk, please feel free to pm me. Huge hugs to you.
ETA: And be gentle with yourself for as long as it takes. I thought I was finally starting to work through it but I had to go to the OB for a follow up today and it was full of happy, glowing, pg women and I've been raging at the world since I left.
