Can't help with whether you got the right size, but I can tell you you can go see a good fitter, get a fitting and they will tell you what size of bike to get.
Good luck with whatever you decide and let us know how things turn out.
Oh and FWIW I'm 5'3 and ride a men's 48.

Since you want to buy a specialized bike in the future, I recommend that you call your local Specialized bike shop. Then ask who the certified bike fitter is (the fitter usually does sales also). Make an appointment to discuss what size your future bike should be (bring in your current bike too so that you can point out what makes you currently uncomfortable). This should help you to decide whether you want to spend money for a bike fitting on your current bike OR what size bike you should buy instead and then sell your current bike.

I agree with getting a bike fitting. They can change out the stem and make the reach longer if you need it. The saddle can also go back. Then you can ask them what size bike you should get in the future.
