could i have had a miscarriage? :/

I'm seventeen years old, scared of going to the doctors because the last time i went with my parents, they told them about some of my confidential things. In the middle of last month, i didn't take the pill for a long number of days, my mind was just busy with college after my week off the pill so i started late. During that time, i had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend which lead to some of the sperm to come inside me. I went to central youth the next morning for a morning after pill and they told me that there is a very low chance that i could be pregnant. I have recently developed signs of pregnancy such as larger breasts, extreme mood changes, increased appetite, feeling sick in the morning BUT not actually throwing up, maternal instincts have gotten the best of me. I only came to terms with this last night as the time i thought i wasn't pregnant, i continued to drink alcohol, take my pill, yesterday i went on fair rides which I've heard could have been a cause of damage, leaving me with severe cramps so painful it made me cry and not want to move, then it settled down a little last night when i had sexual intercourse again with my boyfriend, which lead me to a lot of bleeding, though it seemed more watery than regular period bleeding. I've never bled after sex before, and I've been active for about 2-3 years now, and the fact i'm still on my pill and its not the time to bleed has worried me into thinking this could be a miscarriage.
The pain hurts too much and i cannot stop thinking that i could have lost a child.
Have I had an early miscarriage?

I understand your worry and concerns, but your health is more important than anything. Go to the doctor and get checked out. I had a friend that refused and she almost died. Her problem turned out to be something she never thought of in the first place. Knowledge is power and you will not know what is wrong until you get it checked out. Also remember fear is false images appearing real. Go to the doctor. Please do not fear keep you from seeking help

Not sure what could be causing the terrible cramps, but from my experience, miscarriage bleeding is super super super heavy--like changing a maxi pad every hour or less-- for at least a day or two.  Then bleeding like a period for at least another 4-5 days, maybe longer.  It's hard for me to tell from what you posted whether or not you may have been pregnant.  I'm thinking no.  BUT-- if you really wanna know, you could try taking a HPT or getting a blood test.  If you've recently miscarried, you will still have some hcG in your system for a week or two (at least), so it would probably come up postive if you were.
