Tested positive last week and I have been a nervous wreck ever since. I’m about 5 weeks pregnant and have had like 3 days where I haven’t bleed and now it’s getting more consistent and slightly heavier. I’m still testing positive but the only response I get from epu is test in two weeks and come back.
I have a feeling I have a progesterone deficiency from my periods but I feel I’m not going to get listened to until I’ve been through multiple miscarriages.any advice

Edited to say: Firstly, I'm so sorry for your loss! 💔

Unfortunately, I've been there and my 2nd pregnancy ended after spotting progressed to bleeding, which then got heavier. My tests didn't get lighter initially and it took about a week(I think?) fir the line to disappear entirely.

I also diagnosed myself with low progesterone and, with all my pregnancies, I took a natural supplement called Vitex. My first pregnancy had spotting but was ultimately successful leading to my know very boisterous 6 year old. Second pregnancy was a miscarriage. Third pregnancy was around 4 weeks after the m/c. I had bright red bleeding but somehow managed to hold onto my baby... he's 2 now. 🥰 I honestly believe the vitex played a huge role in helping maintain the pregnancies!
