Do you need to see a doctor if you know you’ve had early miscarriage

Do you need to see a doctor if you have had an early miscarriage? Or chemical pregnancy?

my situation isn’t exactly black and white but was just wondering what you do in the situation of a v early mc?

I had incredibly sore boobs before my last period, a symptom of pms I’ve not had in a long time. They were so sore that it felt like being pregnant. But my period came bang on time and looked like it always does, so thought nothing of it. This month also bang on time. Only difference is I’ve had a raging yeast infection (I think) and period may be slightly lighter, or watery? Not sure if that’s due to cream and yeast infection (sorry, gross) or if it was different. Hard to tell. It lasted 7 days as normal and definitely contained lots of red blood.
Last time I had a miscarriage I also had a yeast infection. No reason to suspect pregnancy as was literally on my period, but I found an old stick test and gave it a go. It was negative, but after about 10 mins (5 mins passed the ‘allotted time’) there was a faint pink line. Definitely had colour so doesn’t sound like it was evap line, but I was passed the 5 minutes I was supposed to allow. I bought a ‘proper’ pregnancy test today and it was negative. My faint line could have just been a cheap old stick with evap line, but I wondered if I had had a chemical pg or v early mc a couple of months ago? Faint line could have been last lingering traces of hormones?
But of course I feel ridiculous going to doctor saying I’ve had regular periods and a negative pregnancy test. They so t take me seriously. If it was chemical/early mc is it ok to just let things take care of themselves?
sorry for long ramble, yeast infection is sending me crazy.

Hi OP, if the test was negative at the end of the 5 mins then it is a negative, anything that appears after that is invalid, it’s not an accurate result and will be an evap line. X

Thank you. I think I knew that, I’m just getting stressed out with never ending infections and unhelpful doctors. I need to step away from the Google
