Miscarriage or Chemical Pregnancy?

Last month I started charting again after taking a three month break because tge cycle before was only 21 days which is very unusual for me. Going only on cervical fluid and when the positive result showed up I assume I ovulated on day 13. On CD 19 I had brown discharge which has never happened at that point in my cycle before, only the day before AF, so I thought I was having another weird cycle. That went on for two days and on CD 21 there was nothing not even cervical fluid. The next day CD 22 I was scheduled to start up a previous med that you're not supposed to take while pregnant and since things had been so strange including heartburn from cereal I decided to use a generic test I had lying around the house. It was the faintest positive ever. I was shaking and excited but aware that it could be false pos, since I have never seen two lines in a test before and I'd never felt so pregnant before I was still vry excited. I went to the store and bought a pkg of first response the ones you can do 6 days before your period is due. That afternoon I got 2 less faint positives and the next morning another. I told my guy we were so happy blah blahblah... I made an appt for the day AF was due, CD 25 but by that morning I was spotting bright red blood and having pretty bad cramping, I went in anyway and after a urine and blood test we determined it didn't stick. The spotting stopped by that night and AF showed up 3 days late and lasted 8 days. I'm just wondering if this was a chemical pregnanccy or a miscarriage? My doctor did not take the time to explain much to me jut said he was sorry and sent me in my way. I know something differnt than my usual cycles was happening cause by CD 12 this month my nipples were leaking when squeezed but only for one day and I ovulated the next day. That has nevr happened before either and I chalk it up to whatever it was last cycle having an effect on my body still. Any advice on how to deal with all of this would be great, as well as what you think about things nott sticking. :) Thanks so much.
