Does a MC count as a period?

CJ
Ok so I had a MC yesterday and I know this because I went to the ER. So right now I'm bleeding and I plan on trying again right away as soon as it stops. I've been trying to gather information but some of it doesn't quite make sense since I am still learning and experiencing. I saw that one women said she was waiting for her period to start trying again after her MC, but doesn't your MC count as a period?
