Mel - i'm so very sorry for your loss.

unfortunately, there are so many many causes of miscarriage that it's hard to say what exactly has happened. i have been on progesterone support (crinone/pessaries) and have lost my baby in a chemical pregnancy similar to yourself, but my body didn't allow it to pass until that support was ceased.

it is common practice, if you don't have known luteal phase defects, to cease the crinone once that first two weeks has passed, as the corpus luteum on your ovary from egg pick up (or ovulation in a natural FET) should produce more than enough progesterone to support your pregnancy. if someone has a luteal phase defect or goes through a medicated FET, then it's normal to have progesterone support up until week 10 or 12 when the placenta takes over hormonal support.

i know none of that helps you in your current situation. i know how very very hard it is to have something you've worked so hard for stolen away from you - and it's even harder when there are no answers - all you want is to know WHY - and, where possible, to lay blame. unfortunately, there is no one to blame - whether it was something amiss with your hormones, or something wrong with the fetus, no one could have predicted it - all they can do is help with additional support next time and hope that it helps you to take your baby to term

my thoughts are with you
