Polyp or pregnancy tissue or neither after miscarriage.

SOS! I need some female support. I’m nearly 40 and it feels like I’m walking around with a ticking time bomb inside myself. Can you relate? I had my first pregnancy towards the end of last year but sadly lost the little one at 9 weeks. I’ve chosen to pass things naturally and in January I had a scan to see if all is well. A pregnancy test was still faint positive although the pregnancy hormone count was now very low at 15. They did not know whether what they could see on the ultrasound was a polyp or pregnancy tissue and asked me to come back for another scan after my first heavy period. The NHS has been amazing but I’ve now been told that instead of having the scan within 6 weeks, I am now going to only have it after 12 weeks. As you can imagine, I am devastated as I don’t want to waste 3 months of not ttc just because I may or may not have pregnancy tissue or a polyp. So my question to all of you would be, would you wait for another 6 weeks (this is where I am currently at) to have a scan and then miss yet another cycle? Do polyps cause miscarriages and what are the chances that a polyp grew exactly in the same spot the pregnancy tissue was previously seen? Even if it is a polyp, do I have to wait before ttc or could I just carry on as usual? All your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't had a miscarriage but I did have polyps in my womb that were ddiscovered when I was being treated for infertility and the doctor told me they had to be removed before my fertility treatment because they could prevent implantation so I guess they could be a cause of miscarriage.

Can you get a private scan earlier?
