am i pregnant still, or did I have a miscarriage?
I'm 17 year old female from london, england. I had sex with this guy once and then missed my period so I took a pregnancy test and it was a faint positive so I took another one a few days later and I got another positive. I told the guy and he said get rid of it he can't deal with a child and he won't come to any appointments or help me. But then a few weeks later I got two light periods that lasted 4-5 days in the space of 4 weeks. Iv recently gone to the doctors and she was very unhelpful, she's said about me having a possible miscarriage so she's sending me for a scan but I haven't received an appointment yet and this was a week ago!
iv been threw a lot the last couple of years, diagnosed with bipolar, self harm, family problems and since iv found out I was pregnant iv been happier and I think this baby is going to get me threw life. I'm really scared because I want this baby an will be destroyed if iv had a miscarriage.
How likely is it that my baby is okay? And why is my doctor not giving me answers and treating this as serious?

I too am not a doctor so I too cannot make a diagnoses. What I do know is that a miscarriage can be serious and need of further treatment to insure all of the fetus and the placenta have been ejected. This is very important to your well being.
I am also aware of the UK's National Health system and how hard it can be to see a specialist. You should be seeing a OB/GYN. In the states most OB/GYNs have ultrasound equipment in their offices to do scans during a routine visit. If you didn't see an OB/GYN I can understand you being sent for a scan.
Since I do not know how the National Health System works I can only suggest you be proactive and call to make the appointment yourself. You may also want to, if it is possible to do so, make an appointment with an obgyn. Tell them you think you miscarried and what treatment you have received thus far. This may possibly allow you to get an appointment without a referral. Last but not least you can always try one of the emergency clinics or hospital emergency rooms.

Since I am not a Doctor, I can't give you an answer to weather your baby will be okay or not. However, you should seriously call your Doctor up and let him/her know that you haven't received anything in the mail/gotten a call for a scan, and you were wondering when you were going to receive it? This is something that is very important, and you must know about it, you have every right too. I would call her, if I were you. You have to get in touch with someone! Even if you went to your nearest Clinic I'm sure they would help you out!!
