Answer
If you have any doubt, take two blood tests for pregnancy (Beta HCG) 48 hours apart. If there is a doubling of the results in 48 hours, it indicates a viable pregnancy. if there is a halving of the results in 48 hours, it inidcates a miscarriage. If both results are less than 5 it means that you were never pregnant. If so, then you probably merely have some hormonal imbalance that should be controlled with birth control pills. Discuss it with your doctor after you get the results.
