A member asked:
How would you know if you've had a miscarriage or a very short & painful period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy test: The only way to tell a miscarriage from a period is to check a pregnancy test. It is very unusual to be pregnant (even if it is a miscarriage) with a negative pregnancy test.
