I'm sorry for your loss.
I want to say it's not considered a miscarriage, no. Due to some reason or another the egg didn't implant, so even though it was fertilized, it flushed out like an unfertilized egg would usually do during your period. There's lots of reasons for chemicals, genetic defect, lining wasn't thick enough, etc., but try not to worry. 70-75% of all conceptions (fertilized eggs) don't implant, so it's very very common. This is actually the reason I've decided I will not test before 2 days before my missed period. Most women don't even realize they've had a chemical, because they weren't trying to conceive. But for ttc'ers, especially those prone to testing a early as possible, they're more apt to realize it as they're paying attention to that specifically.
Point is, chemicals are pretty common, so try not to worry. If it really bothers you, see another doctor. You have the right to a second opinion. Or third or fourth even.

The exact same happened to us, chemical at 6 and missed at 10. We're trying to conceive our first. My gp isn't too concerned either as many women have 2 mc and go on to have healthy pregnancies. Feeling positive xx
