Your doctor suspects that you were pregnant but it was never confirmed. As for your period being late, you said that you moved back home. If you're going through a stressful time sometimes that can also cause your period to be late and include heavy bleeding. If you took a home pregnancy test and found out that way that's a different story.

Let's take a step back. She has nothing to feel guilty over. She didn't do anything wrong. Spontaneous miscarriages are quite common during the first month which is why most women don't announce their pregnancies right away.

As for telling him, I don't think it's a good idea. You have no idea how he'll take the news. Depending on his views, he may spin it to blame her for harming "their child".
