Negative pregnancy test after miscarriage but still bleeding

Hi, this is my first time posting and was hoping for a little advise. Three weeks ago I had a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks (baby stopped developing at 6/7 weeks), confirmed by scan that only the placenta was left to pass. Since the bleeding started it hasnt stopped, but I have been asked to take a test by the EPU which came back as negative. My question is how long should I expect to be bleeding for (I know everyone is different) but if the test is coming as negative that surely shows that everything has passed? Not knowing what's going on or what happens next is just so difficult as I just want this nightmare to be over with :( the EPU are not willing to scan due to the test being negative so I'm not sure why I am still bleeding, surely this wouldn't be a period? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. I bled for 4 weeks with no gaps. I had my first period 4 weeks to the day of the miscarriage. This went on for 12 days and I ended up back st the hospital due to it being heavy. They did a scan to check everything had gone and gave me tablets to stop the bleeding.
I had a negative pregnancy test after 3 weeks, but it is worth getting checked out if you are worried. I was able to contact the ward direct at the hospital and they were great x
