The only way to know that is if your pregnancy test showed positive.Its not possible to tell by ultrasound because its too early.It does happen quite often when the spontaneous abortion occurs even before the woman knows she's pregnant but only a positive test will determine that.However,now its too late to determine if this happened last month.
