Was this an early miscarriage?

I was about a week late for my period, however they can be a little irregular anyway so I didn’t think too much about it, as I had assumed that if I WAS pregnant, then I’d know when it hadn’t come for another couple of weeks, as I’d been a bit obsessive with testing before.
This was my most intense, painful period I have ever ever had. I was curled up on the sofa at work, just crying and (quietly) groaning in pain. I cannot describe the pain, except that it was almost like a pushing pain, it made me feel like I constantly needed the toilet BADLY, but when I’d go, all that would come out would be more blood.
It was also heavier than usual, and lasted for almost a week.

No way of knowing, but I’ve had random periods that were much much worse and weren’t early miscarriage

Ah I see. Hopefully 🤞

Is there any way to know the difference between a weird, extremely painful period and an early miscarriage?

Not really no. If you had taken a test & got a positive you would know but other than that, not really.
