Still worried about early period...

Hi there!

The last time I posted I was worried about an early period on the pill. It seems as the period followed the normal light to heavy to light pattern (although it's been 5 days and after the light brown bleeding I had some red bleeding).

But I've been scaring myself and reading about miscarriage symptoms. Is there any way an early period with some cramps could indicate this? I have been protected all month and even took Plan B after I was paranoid about sex. If I take a pregnancy test, and if it's negative, does that mean it's just my period? Or would it not pick up on the chance of miscarriage? I don't have any of the other symptoms I've read about (dizziness, weight loss, fever, passing tissue - I assume passing tissue would be obvious and it seems as though I am passing some slight blood clots as I usually do with my period).

Thanks so much!!

Actually I think I just made myself feel a lot better because I've read that an early period is almost never a miscarriage, but rather late periods are more indicative of a miscarriage...
