I would say it was a m/c but the doctor may not count it as it was not confirmed by him/her.
I am guessing that you never went to the doctors after doing your HPT ?

I did when i fell pg after my first m/c and then a few days later i lost that one as well but as the doctor did bloods and it came back that i was pg then they count that as two. I htink if i never went to see him then they would still say one.

I hope i have made some sense.
