It is hard to know if she is truly pregnant and threatening another miscarriage or whether this is just a period. My recommendation would be to have her take it easy for the next few days and recheck a pregnancy test. Further, if she develops any pain symptoms she needs to see a physician immediately because ectopic pregnancies can present in this manor as well... Lynn
