Was going to the ERa bad choice?

So my insurance is still going through transfer to my new state, currently I am only covered for emergency visits like the ER instead of regular appointments like obgyn visuts. Been having terrible cramps since finding out I'm pregnant and it's getting worse so I went to the hospital ER. The doctor says that pregnancy pain is natural but if it's getting worse they might want to see if possible ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. My question is, should I have just sucked it up until my insurance went through or was it a good idea to be seen in theER? Currently waiting for my ultrasound
