HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned but cancer would not normally present in this way.
Cancers of the reproductive system in a female could involve the ovaries, uterus, cervix mainly.
Though abnormal bleeding can occur, it is not to this level most commonly.
Other possible causes would be fibroids, endometriosis or unfortunately a miscarriage as you mentioned.
An ultrasound would be the best option at this stage to determine the cause.
I hope this helps
