This may be a bit long.
I had unprotected sex 12 days ago.. i didnt think there was a chance i was pregnant.
On Saturday just passed i was out drinking with friends.
My period was over due by a few days but i thought nothing of it cos the sex wasnt that long ago.
On Monday i woke up in agony, i went to the bathroom and passed out in pain, the cramps in my lower stomach were agony! Later on in the day, my period came, but its been so much heavier than it usually is and the stomach cramps have been a lot worse too.
I don't want to go to the doctors about it and theres no one i can talk to. Could i have miscarried and how do i know if i have? Theres a sexual health clinic in my town, i was thinking of going there for advice/pregnancy test.
Does anyone know if it could have been what i think or is it just be being paranoid?

It could have been an unusual period or a miscarriage although if the sex wasn't long ago I think that is less likely. The hormone released during pregnancy that gives a positive on the tests can stay in the body for a bit after a miscarriage so doing a pregnancy test may be positive if it was a miscarriage.

If you are worried I would go to the sexual health clinic. They can also advise you on contraception for the future as pregnancy is not the only conicidence of unprotected sex, an sexual health check may be worth while and they may provide you with free condoms too.
