Bleeding - miscarriage or fibroids?

This is my first pregnancy, I'm 13.5 weeks along. I had my dating scan last week and everything was fine, apart from that I have a large (90cm) fibroid near my birth canal. It has given me some discomfort but 2 days ago I felt a sharp pain in that area and last night I started bleeding bright red blood and passed a few blood clots (definitely blood clots rather than anything else, I get these in my normal periods). It was similar in heaviness to a period and I filled one pad by ~70%. Anyway the bleeding has stopped now and I'm still waiting for the hospital to book a scan.

Does anyone have any experience of miscarriage where it starts and stops like this, or of complications of fibroids? I hate that I have to wait for a scan to find out what's happening.

Im sorry @Niki85 I have no specific experience. Just wanted to say they should hopefully be blooming quick with the scan! Also as the bleeding has stopped and you dont have cramping, it doesnt sound like MC. Crossing my fingers that it was related to the fibroid!
