Go back to the Dr and ask for a referral to Gynae, the wait will be appallingly long but at least you will be seen eventually. If you have the money you could book a private appointment with a gynaecologists so you can be seen quicker.

Perhaps ring NHS 111 or your GP's out-of-hours service. I don't think this is something that should wait.

Could this be an ectopic pregnancy? Worth ringing 111.

I've never known doctors to be that dismissive, though I have felt dismissed when they can't solve it. Normally they at least do imaging, blood tests and referrals first though. I'd see another doctor, and then another if you have to, until someone checks it out for you. It's not good enough to not investigate for you.
