Period like bleeding 6 weeks

Hi, I am certain that I have had a miscarriage but I guess I am still holding onto a glimmer of hope which is why I am posting.

I experienced a really sharp pain in my stomach at 6 weeks 1 day it felt like someone was squeezing my insides with sharp nails, it lasted about 10 seconds and then that was it. I was concerned but tried not to worry. The next day I started spotting, this then progressed to brown blood followed by bright red blood with stringy bits. Yesterday at 6 weeks 3 days I went to A&E to see if I could get a referral to the EPU for a scan to get some confirmation, the Dr was very kind to me but also honest (I appreciated this) and said that as I have miscarried before, the cramps and period like bleeding I am most likely miscarrying. They called this morning and asked me to take a pregnancy test to see if I am still getting a second line and how strong, I will get one when the pharmacy opens.

I am just wondering if anyone has had heavy bleeding like they are on their period and cramping and didn't miscarry? I have a small part of me that is clinging to some hope that maybe I was pregnant with twins and one is still ok which is very unlikely as no history of twins in the family. Or maybe I am just having a heavy bleed but everything is going to be ok which is stupid I know as I just don't know how I can bleed this much and everything is still ok.

I have miscarried before but I was much further along, I was 15 weeks so the process then feels very different to now, I feel like I am just expected to get on with it and see what happens.

@bananamuffin99
I had that pain with my first miscarriage at 10+5 then started the brown bleeding, sorry your going through this, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I am getting a scan at the EPU tomorrow so I will get my answer then, I just want to have confirmation. I took a pregnancy test and the line was still very strong but not going to read anything into it.

I just feel so sad and angry. I'm 39 and I feel like time is slipping away and I might not be able to get pregnant again. I know I am so lucky to already have a daughter but I desperately wanted her to have a sibling.
