If you miss a field goal on first down is it automatically turnover on downs?

In American football, a turnover on downs occurs when the offensive team fails to advance the ball 10 yards in four downs. A missed field goal on first down does not result in an automatic turnover on downs. However, if the field goal is missed and the ball is not returned by the defense, the offensive team will have fourth down and long to gain. This means they will have to gain a significant amount of yards to avoid turning the ball over on downs.
