Hi!
If you were my patient, I would need to do an ultrasound to determine how far along you are.  Without a period to go by, there is really no way to tell!

If you miscarried on March 19, and then ovulated 2-4 weeks later (which would be typical) you could be anywhere from about 6-8 weeks along with a due date around December or January.

More than that, I can't tell you!
Be sure your doctor checks your progesterone level (since you had a miscarriage in the past -- I would have a low threshhold to start you on progesterone supplements)  You might want to call about that, unless your visit is soon.

Good luck!
