Shall I just give up?

I'm 41 in December and I have a 5 year old DD. I had a MC at 5 weeks in 2019 and in February of this year I had a MMC with twins. I had a routine scan at 13 weeks to be told they'd stopped growing at 10 weeks, so I had a D&C.

Two weeks ago I found out I was pregnant again, my test said 2-3 but as the days went on I just didn't feel pregnant. Took another digital and it dropped to 1-2 and it was consistent for the next few days and pink line tests were getting lighter. Did a digital with FMU on Friday morning and it said not pregnant. I'd had no bleeding but I was taking 800mg of Cyclogest pessaries daily from the day I found out I was pregnant (my first time using them) which I read can delay miscarriage bleeding.

My bleeding has finally started today and I just feel fed up and wonder why I keep trying. I'm due to have a scan tomorrow (it was booked on Friday) but now that I'm bleeding, don't have any sinister pains, etc I don't see the point of going.

I already have a scan booked for next Monday (should have been my 6.5 week scan) so I'm debating whether to cancel tomorrow and just keep next Monday's one, and hopefully the bleeding will have stopped by then and I can get an indication as to if I will have had a complete miscarriage.

I just feel dejected- I did everything I could, I started Cyclogest as soon as I got a bfp, took aspirin and pregnancy vitamins, and it still didn't work. After the loss of the twins I was assigned a fertility consultant, and due to my age they did the usual tests, all came back clear, which is why she prescribed Cyclogest and aspirin.

@SoOverThisCrap so sorry to hear what you've gone through. I had 3 miscarriages a few years back and I also had to take Cyclogest but my consultant said to start it from day 21 of my cycle, so a week before the day I should test for a BFP as that's roughly when your body should start to produce progesterone. Could you suggest that to your consultant in case it makes a difference? I wouldn't give up as the experts can do so much to help things along these days, it depends how much more of it you can take as I do know how you feel x

Thank you @siaa I think the bleeding is now coming to an end and that it probably a chemical pregnancy as the bleeding was pretty much like a usual period, although I did also pass amount a small amount of 'tissue' (I hate that reference) so I think my next cycle will probably start again soon 🤞🙏
Now that I'm over the shock of another loss I would like to try again and I shall speak to the consultant about starting Cyclogest on day 21. Thank you for the advice 😊

@SoOverThisCrap no worries! They should be okay with you starting it on day 21 as it can't harm anything, it's just that for some it's a bit early / unnecessary at that point I guess. I definitely need it from day 21 as I've had tonnes of tests to work out why I was having miscarriages. Fingers crossed for you this month then and I'm glad the bleeding is tailing off x

I took cyglogest from ovulation with this one and had four mmc b4. I took 6 cyclogest a day ! I also did immune treatment as my body was attacking the embryos. Look into immunes too. Best of luck
