Progesterone stopping me from bleeding?

So I'll be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow with my fourth pregnancy after 3 losses. I'm under the care of recurrent miscarriage specialists at my local hospital who put me on progesterone suppositories when I had my BFP on a digital last Monday (1-2 weeks as expected as I know when I ovulated).
Since then I've had almost no pregnancy symptoms which I thought was odd since progesterone tends to make them worse and I've always had a heightened sense of smell and sore nipples in all of my previous pregnancies. I thought I'd take a cheap pregnancy test on Saturday morning with FMU and was shocked when it was so faint but tried not to overthink it. I've taken another this morning and it's even fainter.
I'm now thinking this would usually be when I'd start bleeding but wondering whether the progesterone is delaying it?
I will eventually call the hospital but just can't face it just yet.

Sorry for your losses. I had 3 Mcs, the last one with progesterone from ovulation (2 suppositories per day. I had my last MC despite the progesterone. I am now 17 weeks pregnant and was on progesterone until 16 weeks, taking aspirin, high dose folic acid, a vitamin b and blood thinners. IME the progesterone does not necessarily stop bleeding or a MC.
