Unexpected pregnancy/miscarriage

Yesterday I lost a big blood clot and today my trousers were soaked through so I went to the walking centre and they confirmed as pregnant and having a miscarriage... I am currently on naproxen for with sciatica and I am wondering now if it was because of the naproxen that this has happened.. I genuinely didn't think I was pregnant nor was I expect in there to be at present positive pregnancy test but I would just like to know if this could be the cause of it.
I feel low shocked and even though I wasn't expecting a pregnancy I would have been over the moon. So I just want to know if this is what could have caused it any help would be appreciated

There is no way to know the definitive answer of why. Naproxen is not recommended in pregnancy and some sources do state in can increase the risk of miscarriage. However, 1:4 women miscarry and the vast majority of them are due to chromosomal abnormalities rather than anything in the environment or ingested.
