Chemical pregnancy or miscarriage?

Question

I’ve debated posting this for some time because it almost feels too morbid, but I’m still really wondering. 
At what point do you stop calling it a chemical pregnancy and start calling your loss a miscarriage?
I lost my baby at about 6 weeks (I hadn’t  gone to the doc yet). When I explained it to her she blew it off as “o it was just a chemical pregnancy” like no big deal. The baby was a big deal to me. I knew I was pregnant before I even had the test to confirm it. I lost the baby the day after a close loved one passed. I’ve always called it a miscarriage. But am I overreacting?

Answer

A chemical pregnancy is still a miscarriage it’s just an early loss. It still hurts the same.. especially when you’ve been trying to get pregnant for awhile. So, you can refer to it as whatever you’d like. There’s no right or wrong answer.
For me though, I personally refer to my chemical pregnancy as a chemical because just months prior I had a missed miscarriage. It’s easier for me to refer to one as a chemical and the other as a miscarriage so that I can be specific about which one I’m talking about. 
My miscarriage was much more devastating for me than when I had a chemical pregnancy because of the long drawn out process because my body didn’t naturally miscarry on its own but I still feel the loss of both.

Answer

I miscarried at 6 weeks. A nurse told me it might have been a chemical pregnancy but I have only called it a MC.

Answer

I just lost our baby at 4-5 weeks pregnant and my doctor called it a spontaneous miscarriage. I had a positive pregnancy test which was confirmed by the doctors office just before. I think miscarriage is appropriate. ❤️
