Swallowing your Susten VT 200mg (progesterone) by mistake is safe and will not cause serious harm. However, because it is designed to be absorbed vaginally, swallowing it means less of the active hormone reaches your uterus, and you might experience increased temporary side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, or mild nausea. I highly recommend contacting your healthcare provider to let them know so they can advise you on when to take your next dose. For your peace of mind, rest assured that you are safe, but try to use the vaginal route as prescribed for the best results.

Because you have a cervical cerclage and a history of cervical insufficiency, your cervix requires extra care. An orgasm, even from non-penetrative stimulation, triggers mild uterine contractions. In your case, these contractions could place unwanted stress on your cerclage and your progesterone-supported cervix. To keep you and your baby as safe as possible, pelvic rest?which typically includes avoiding orgasms?is generally recommended. Please consult your obstetrician.

Yes, taking Susten 200 (progesterone) at 9 weeks of pregnancy is generally safe and very common, especially if you have a history of irregular periods. Progesterone is a natural hormone that helps support and maintain your uterine lining, providing a secure environment for your developing baby. Since irregular periods can sometimes be linked to lower progesterone levels, your doctor has likely prescribed this to give your pregnancy extra support. Please continue to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is a very reassuring step for a healthy pregnancy, and they will monitor your progress closely.

Yes, it is generally safe and very common to use Susten 400 (progesterone) vaginally during early pregnancy, such as at 5 weeks. Progesterone is a vital hormone that supports the lining of your womb to help maintain a healthy pregnancy. Administering it vaginally is highly effective because it delivers the medication directly where it is needed most, typically causing fewer systemic side effects. Please continue to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you experience any unusual irritation or have further questions, please consult your obstetrician.

At six weeks, it is still very early, and pregnancy dating can sometimes be slightly off. It is entirely possible for the yolk sac and heartbeat to develop and become visible over the next two weeks. Your doctor prescribed Susten 200 (progesterone) to help support the pregnancy during this critical time. While an irregular sac can sometimes be a concern, it is not a definitive sign of failure at this stage. The follow-up scan in two weeks is the best way to get a clear picture of how your pregnancy is progressing.

While switching from vaginal Susten (progesterone) 400 mg to oral progesterone 200 mg twice daily is pharmacologically possible to maintain the same daily dose, oral progesterone is absorbed differently and may cause more systemic side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, or nausea. It is essential to consult your obstetrician before making this change. They will ensure the switch is safe for your pregnancy and help manage any discomfort you are experiencing.
