Maybe miscarried?

Hi everyone. First time posting.
I'm having an epu scan tomorrow, just looking for thoughts and experiences similar to mine.
I have two children (DD age almost 2 and DS
almost 4).

First pregnancy ended in a MMC at around week 11,but embryo estimated to have stopped growing at 6 or 7 weeks gestation.
That miscarriage was awful. Couldn't sleep for two nights with terrible cramps and huge clots, soaking pads upon pads (sorry tmi). That pregnancy, I had no pregnancy symptoms.

This time... has been different. Just like my last pregnancy with DD, I've had nausea from the beginning. In fact, I'm still nauseous now, heartburn persists as well.
But last week I started having brown spotting on the Tuesday, midwife said not to worry as I'd had a previous colposcopy it's probably just my cervix being irritated or the like.
By Tuesday evening I was spotting red blood, and the epu nurse said to prepare to miscarry and it'll get worse, take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after it finishes and call them back if it was positive.
(but my booking appointment is scheduled for next Monday, so was unsure if I should go or not).
Bleeding got worse, and I had bad cramps on Wednesday evening and again on Thursday morning, but other than that they weren't so bad. I kept expecting them to get worse, as I'd experienced worse before, it didn't get worse...
Didn't lose a lot of significant tissue, but plenty of blood, mostly into toilet as I felt it coming, didn't speak any pads really. It tapered off over the coming 5 days and it's more like a bloody discharge today and only when I wipe (tmi again). Slept well through the week,

Now I'm nervous that somethings left in there? Like is something stuck? Would it cause pain? Could I still be pregnant? I ask because I have pregnancy symptoms and if I miscarried, surely that'd mean I would have noticed losing the baby?
You start googling, and suddenly you feel like it could have been anything but a miscarriage. My c-section scars are at fault! It's a haematoma! Low lying placenta! Etc etc

I don't want to kid myself. Just wondering if anyone has had similar experience with positive OR negative outcomes?

Any thoughts? Confused

Total side note: squeezed my nipple when just checking for changes to my areola.. Drop of milk came out... Surely its be too early for that at 11 weeks anyway?! HmmBlush

I had a very early miscarriage with my first pregnancy. I wasn't even 6 weeks, 5+4 I think. I was shocked at the size of what came out. Around 2cm lomg with bits coming off of it. Looked like a cockroach! You definitely would have noticed I think. Sorry you're going through this, best of luck for tomorrow x

Thank you for your reply. My first miscarriage sounds just like yours. It was excruciating. That's why this one has really thrown me.
Sorry you've been through it x
