Spotting and cramping at 5 weeks

Guys I'm so worried. Last night I started to spot brownish pinkish discharge (after sex). I've heard this is normal but today I have very severe cramps, shooting pains all around my lower abdomen and back and just feel like it's over. No spotting to be seen at all this morning but I know that spotting comes and goes before a miscarriage. I'm 6 weeks on sunday, have a history of miscarriage and endometriosis and when I raised my concerns with my GP her response was "well if you miscarry this time we'll look into it", like my heart can take anymore! I told my son I'm pregnant yesterday and the spotting began after. I feel so so angry and my heart is in my throat. The cramps are so severe. I feel like this is the end. After 2 years waiting to get pregnant again I lose another. I'm feeling so down right now and just want to break down into tears. My son is the sweetest and a sibling is everything he wants. He can't see another one lost, this is heartbreaking. Any positive stories? My only hope is I took a pregnancy test and still the darkest it can be and no more spotting. But the cramps are literally like labour.

Sorry you’re going through this. I had spotting at 6 weeks, went for a scan and all was fine. Could you request a scan?

Thank you, I've been in touch with midwife again and she's sent a request for me to see the GP and ask for a scan. So far no more spotting since last night but still very crampy
