Would a doctor be able to tell??
 
I'm not really sure why this came to my mind today but I was wondering... If you think you may have had a miscarriage very early in your pregnancy (like less than a month) could you go see a doctor and would he be able to tell you if you did or not? Assuming you didn't know initially that you were pregnant.

Not at that point, the fetus would have to develop some first.

Yes, a doctor would be able to tell you had had a miscarriage. Even if you had not yet noticed you were pregnant, a doctor still would be able to note the signs of a miscarriage. If you didnt even know you were pregnant, a miscarriage that early on probably just seemed like a heavier/more cramp-filled period. Doctors are often able to tell if a miscarriage did in fact occur if no pregnancy is present, but there is still small deposits of HCG in a blood test (the pregnancy hormone, which takes the body a little while to flush itself of after a miscarriage).

How long after a misscarriage can a doctor tell, though? Like, how long does the hormone take to wash out of your system?
I am in a similer situation, although I would have been way more than a month pregnant, more like 2.5. And I would have "misscarriaged" about 3-4 weeks ago.
But I was wondering the same thing as the original poster.

Thank You. I'm not in this situation or anything I was just curious :)

Well yes, they are doctors and they should always be able to tell.
