Spotting at 7 weeks & progesterone

[RoseWin]

I am 7 weeks pregnant and started spotting light brown and then light pink yesterday (very light wasn't much). I already had some progesterone pessaries which I was given in May when I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, so I called EPU to ask if I should start taking them and they said yes. I have since stopped spotting so it only lasted a few hours and I did not have cramps during this time. I want to ask if anyone has had spotting which progesterone has fixed and went on to have a healthy pregnancy? As now I am just worried that progesterone is simply delaying a miscarriage by stopping bleeding. My last miscarriage I started spotting 5 days before the heartbeat stopped and in these 5 days growth of baby was perfect and looked healthy so now I do wonder why I was spotting when baby was still viable.. would love anyone's advice and prior experience. Coming from a very nervous first time mum, third pregnancy this year.. thank you

I'm surprised they didn't tell you to start taking progesterone as soon as you got a positive test. A little bleeding in early pregnancy, while not exactly normal, isn't uncommon, and doesn't necessarily mean you're miscarrying. But with your history I'd to sort an early scan in a week or so (either with epu or private) just so you know. Best of luck x

Thank you. I think every EPU is different but mine said they wouldn't prescribe it from the start until they can confirm it's in the uterus and not ectopic as progesterone can otherwise continue an ectopic pregnancy they said. I guess just different hospitals recommending different things.. so in my mind I just thought I know I have the progesterone already from last time so if I do start spotting I'll start taking them right away.. but now I don't know if the progesterone is just masking it as the spotting has stopped.. it only lasted a few hours and was very very light
