Is it a miscarriage if a biochemical pregnancy with a gestational sac is expelled?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I tested two lines myself in the dormitory, and the blood hCG test also showed 50. However, the doctor said it would be a "super strong drop" and told me to prepare mentally. Now, it's a biochemical pregnancy with a miscarried gestational sac. Can I focus on preparing for pregnancy now? Is this child just miscarried?

Doctor's answer:

Yes, it has already started. However, after a miscarriage, it's best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound follow-up to check if it has been completely expelled. If it's not completely expelled, you may need to have a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure. After the surgery, you need to take good care of your body. Pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, enhance your nutrition, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. You should also avoid sexual activity within the first month. At least six months should pass before you get pregnant again.
