Sorry... one of those times when not having a mum is pretty tough, and I don't think I could tell DP's mum.
To be concise - started bleeding after urinating three weeks ago. It's got worse, to the point where I am randomly flooding. On Saturday there was masses of blood. Last night there was so much that I went to OOH, where they did an internal examination and offered me a bed on a ward. I passed a series of big purple clots, and it settled. No blood at all yet today. No real other symptoms - peeing more often throughout the three weeks, I'd gained 4kg randomly at the start but lost them all on the Thursday.
Doctor last night told me she suspected a miscarriage with retained tissue, but did a pregnancy test which she said ruled that out. Doctor just now has done urine tests, I've got an appointment for bloods, and said she was fairly sure it was a miscarriage but that it would now be too late for a scan to see anything. She gave me some leaflets on early miscarriage.
I'm on the pill, this is at least 8 x worse than any period I have ever had. I am not due a period for 9 days. Although there's no blood yet, I have no idea what to do if it starts gushing again later... None.
Is there anything else I can ask for? Or do I just accept this? My best friend is insistent that a pregnancy test would still be positive and therefore it must be something more serious.
I know this isn't the nicest topic but I'd really appreciate some advice

AIBU to ask for some 'mum' advice? Would you challenge this if I were your daughter?
