Missed miscarriage right after a chemical?
I have a 2 year old son, which took almost a year to conceive. We were trying for number 2. Had a chemical in March then conceived the next cycle. Found out yesterday at my first visit (10 weeks) we lost our baby at 7.5. I had a D&C today. My doctor doesn't seemed concerned since we have a 2 year old. Looking at stats, it suggest testing if you have 2 or more mc in a row. Does the chemical count as a miscarriage?
Any encouragement or advice is welcomed. Feeling discouraged.

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.
