Bleeding everyday - they won't scan

So it's my first pregnancy I'm currently 9 weeks and I've been experiencing bleeding - quite heavy and also spotting most mornings.
I was taken to a&e via ambulance due to cramping and bleeding late at night and the nurse simply checked my urine - didn't scan me and sent me home with a leaflet on bleeding?
Someone called me back the next day and told me my next scan (12 weeks) is the 22nd of November and to wait until then. I'm worried sick it's making me ill and I don't think I'm being treated fairly at all. I feel so let down they simply make me feel like a nuisance. I'm not a drama queen I know my body and I've woken today to no symptoms at all of pregnancy- I feel normal.
So I'm expected to sit and worry for the next 2 and a half weeks to find out if I've miscarried?
Its as if they dont care at all.

Sorry to hear that - and sorry that you had to put up such a fight for a scan, definitely can’t see any reason why you should’ve had to wait with a level that high.

Will keep my fingers crossed for your next scan, so sorry that you’re going through this Flowers

That's awful - I went to a&e with bleeding on a Sunday at 7w & they couldn't scan me that day but told me to go to EPU any weekday. Sadly it wasn't good news but I'm so glad I found out then rather than having to wait 6 more weeks.

Ours is walk in so no need for referral. I'm shocked you weren't given similar advice - maybe depends on your local hospital.
It's such a distressing thing to go through - I hope you're okay. X
