Hallow Dear,
I do empathize your situation.
Please understand that Progesterone suppositories would not cause bleeding during pregnancy; on the contrary, it is given to stop the bleeding during pregnancy.
It is good that the cervix is closed. That means that you are having Threatened abortion. So long as there is no pain in abdomen, efforts can be made to salvage this pregnancy by the use of Progesterone. Once the pains start, usually pregnancy cannot be saved. If the bleeding is brown, could be that baby is already non-viable (missed abortion) and you may need evacuation of the uterus.
Your history of 8 abortions is indeed not a favourable history. If by ill luck, you loose this pregnancy also, please get yourself thoroughly evaluated for repeated pregnancy loss. You abort at what weeks of pregnancy? If you are aborting after 12 weeks, you may be having loose mouth of the cervix which can be reinforced by tightening.
You may have to get chromosomal work up of both of you, look for some infections, Thyroid study, etc. Please report to your Obstetrician for the investigations.
I would definitely like to guide you on this issue if you ask me Direct question.
