Suspected AVM after miscarriage

Hey everyone, I am so glad to have come across this group after the worst three months of my life. I had a missed miscarriage in May after 8 weeks of being pregnant, had the D&C procedure followed by bleeding for three weeks. It stopped for two days so finally thought my life could go back to normal but then the bleeding started heavier again! Had a scan an they thought they could see retained product and said I may need another D&C unless it passed naturally. A week later I had a hemmorage at home passing lots of clots and blood. Taken to A&E and scanned they said they couldn’t see retained product however I had a potential AVM acquired from the D&C. I stayed in hospital for 10 days, had another hemmorage and got put on transemic acid to slow the bleeding as my gyno wanted to take a wait and see approach due to the risk of embolisation on fertility. Bleeding started calming with small episodes, so I came home and stopped the medication. I have been bleeding for 2.5 weeks since and my radiologist is saying to do the embolisation but my gyno is saying to take a wait and see approach as he thinks the embolisation May shut down my ovaries and impact my fertility forever. I am so confused and not sure if bleeding so much (having some days of clots, some days heavy bleeding) is normal during a wait and see or if I am at risk.. Has anyone gone through this recently or have any consultants they would recommended in london? Again struggling to find a specialist and so scared. Thanks so much
