There is no specific blood test for miscarriage, however, by taking a few samples of blood on different days and measuring the amount of pregnancy hormone, it can be seen if the amounts are decreasing, which would indicate a miscarriage. ~pawsalmighty When something like that goes wrong it's usually quite clear. Miscarriages are usually painful and there is a "feeling that something isn't right". For early pregnancy a doctor can usually do a vaginal sonogram to check the embryo. I'm not a doctor but I haven't ever heard of diagnosing miscarriage in such a way. The chances of stopping a miscarriage are slight and at that point they would have to wait and see. Remember too that some miscarriages happen so early that a woman mistakes it for menses.

Is it possible to misdiagnose a miscarriage?
Yes, but normally the blood test the dr. will do will check for your hormone levels in the blood. In a miscarriage they will drop signifigantly. If they have tested your blood and are telling you that, then it is probably not misdiagnosed. :(
If you are still bleeding a few days after a miscarriage can a doctor be able to tell if you had one or not?
Yes, they will do an ultrasound and blood test and may do a physical exam. (I'm a doctor)

How does a doctor know you had a miscarriage if you did not even know you were pregnant?
Because of the levels of a certain hormone in your body and the way the lining of your uterus is. There are lots of ways for a doctor to know if you had a miscarriage. He can give you a blood test right afterward that will test your levels of HCG in the blood. If it is more than two, then you were pregnant.
Why is the blood value low in the blood pregnancy test?
Hi, In the Quantiative Beta HCG blood pregnancy test, the value of HCG that the tests looks for before you get a positive, is low because it determines and confirms pregnancy very early. If you have low HCG in your blood test result, this may means several things. * Your not as far along as you thought you was. * Your at risk of miscarriage. In the case of risk of miscarriage, the doctors usually repeat the blood test within 48 hours to see if HCG levels have decreased or increased.
You had a baby 7 months ago and have been on birth contorl but you had you a lot of carmps worse then normal and a good bit of what look like blood clots could this have been a miscarriages?
This could of been a miscarriage but there's no way of telling unless you have a quantitative beta HCG blood test performed. You need to see your doctor for this blood test. Miscarriage tissue is usually grey vein like. If you didn't experience this then you can rule out a miscarriage.

How do you tell the difference between a miscarriage and a threatened miscarriage?
A miscarriage means you have definitely lost the baby, there is usually lots of cramping and clots. A threatened miscarriage means just that, you are still pregnant but may miscarry in the future. Any spotting while pregnant can be called a threatened miscarriage and many women go on to have healthy babies. If you still have signs of pregnancy like swollen and sore breasts it is probably just a threatened miscarriage. Most doctors will order an ultrasound scan to tell for sure. I should think that a blood test (Quantitative HCG) would be more reliable than ultrasound. Levels are decreased in the case of miscarriage, threatened &/incomplete abortion, & if the fetus is dead.
