2 Chemical pregnancies what’s next

I suffered my first chemical at 6 weeks in July first cycle TTC. We tried for the next few cycles and unfortunately we didn’t get pregnant until this month which as of yesterday was another chemical…
.
I found TTC really difficult I get super fixated on it and I’m super impatient so every day feels like forever . I was estactic to get pregnant again and super naiive thinking everything went wrong before so obviously it won’t now. I’m only 23 and DH is 24 going on 25 so it really shouldn’t be an issue for us age wise.
The first chemical I thought something was wrong with baby but now I’m thinking it’s me.
I don’t have any hope that we will conceive straight away as it took us 4 months after the first chemical. I just feel so hopeless and don’t know what to do anymore.
I booked in for a private fertility scan obviously it’s early so I wouldn’t know if it’s my lining stays thick enough as it was just a few days after chemical but everything looked fine .
My GP is rubbish and I’m struggling to get an appointment, is there anything I can do at home or take to stop this happening again. I’m hoping it won’t take too long to happen again.
just to add I have also been taken seven seas TTC tablets both times I got pregnant and stopped soon after do you think not taking them consistently after I found out could have prevented it or am I just looking for something to blame.
Any advice would be great!
Sorry for the long post :(

If anyone has any suggestions I’d really appreciate it, I don’t think my doctor will prescribe progesterone as I have heard that is common to lack in and that’s why a lot of CPs happen. Is there any other way to increase it?

@Pumpkinmoo sorry you are going through this. It's nothing youv done wrong.

you should take your folic acid after you fall pregnant but that wouldn't stop mc it's just advisable.

you could definitely ask for progesterone but they don't always give it over easily. I couldn't get it after x2 losses so had accupunture instead through first trimester and now over 30 weeks pregnant . No idea if it did make a difference but it easied my anxiety!

it's such a sad and confusing time so be kind to yourself x

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. Firstly, please know that it's not uncommon, and many women experience miscarriages without any underlying issues. Up to three miscarriages can occur without major concerns. From what I have read, undergoing tests at this stage is generally not recommended.
It's essential to stay positive and maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, if you happen to experience more than three miscarriages, it's advisable to consult with your doctor to identify potential reasons and undergo necessary tests. I hope this information proves helpful.
