UPDATE:
I'm grateful to the fellow mom who encouraged me not to give up and to go for an immediate check with my gynae - baby is found safe, and we can hear his/her heartbeat now! (Previously was just the gestational sac)
So after confirming that the pregnancy has progressed, my gynae prescribed me more medication to support the pregnancy: Duphaston (for morning & afternoon), and Utrogestan (for evening).
Now my heart is at ease...
Urging all fellow mums with a similar situation as mine to do the same! It can save a tiny life!❤

Hi mummies in the community,
I had brown spotting/discharge a week ago and was on Duphaston since. But today, light bleeding (without clots) started, and it was on-off. Sometimes I only see it when I wipe, sometimes it stained my pad.
I read about other mums with similar experiences at about the same gestation age, and am torn between:
1. Continuing the fight with Duphaston, or
2. Stop Duphaston and let my body clear the tissue naturally with menses
Honestly, although it's only been a week, it's been a grueling and stressful fight. I'm feeling mentally exhausted as I had miscarried just last month as well at 5 weeks.
Should I give up the fight and just let my body clear naturally?
If I were to press on, and in the end need D&C surgery (like if Duphaston is artificially preventing my menses from starting), will it be worse?
