Narrative:

While on approach to [ZZZ1]; we were advised by ATC the previous aircraft reported a 15kt gain in airspeed and went around. We also experienced the 15 kt gain about 2 miles out and it lasted a couple of seconds then calmed down. We thought that would be all so we continued; however; as we approached the end of the runway; we experienced a gain of 20+ kts and at idle thrust was continuing to gain airspeed so we executed a go around. We then were vectored to runway 23 approach. We were on about a 5 mile final for 23 when ATC broke us off the approach and vectored us to 36R approach. We proceeded to 36R and we received a wind shear alert around 500ft so we again executed a go around. Once we climbed out we were informed no one was getting into [ZZZ 1]; I checked our options at that time and realized we were unable to proceed anywhere else. At that moment; we were predicted to land with 1000 lbs of fuel and burning into our reserve fuel. I informed ATC we were approaching emergency fuel and needed to land. We were vectored to 36C and landed with no further discrepancies. The winds during the 18R approach were around 270@8kts favoring 23. Once on 23 approach the winds had moved to 350@12g23kts. During the 36R approach the winds were still 350@12g23. Then finally; 36C winds were 350@7kts however the 2 aircraft before us went missed and did not land. When finally at the gate our fob was about 1;290lbs.
