Repeat scan?

Hi,
I had a medical miscarriage approx 2 and a half weeks ago. Although I had started to bleed a week prior to this. I was 6 weeks.
I am now occasionally spotting when I wipe, what seems to be old brown blood when I wipe. I did a pregnancy test today and it is still positive ( not a strong one but a clear one). I'm due for a repeat scan tomorrow, and I really would like to avoid it if I can. It's an upsetting place bringing back bad memories and of course the scan itself is uncomfortable.

I had requested a scan as I have a c scar deficiency and I thought tissues might get stuck within the scar.
I am also get cramps, which the gp said was nothing to worry about and would settle and has prescribed painkillers.
Is it worth waiting it out ? So I can avoid going back !

I completely understand your feelings but I think it is important you go back so you can understand what is going on.

Sorry you are going through this 💐

So sorry you're going through this - as hard as it is it's definitely worth going back for a repeat scan, to check everything is as it should be hopefully.
