Susten (progesterone) and Duvadilan (isoxsuprine) are commonly and safely used during the seventh month of pregnancy to prevent early labor. Susten contains progesterone, a hormone that helps relax the uterine muscles and support your pregnancy. Duvadilan works by directly relaxing the smooth muscles of the uterus to stop premature contractions. Together, they help keep your baby safe and growing. These medications are safe and highly effective when prescribed by your doctor. Please continue to rest, stay hydrated, and follow your healthcare provider's guidance closely.

Is it really necessary for me to take the Susten (progesterone) tablets prescribed by my doctor for early pregnancy, especially since I only had some light bleeding and want to avoid taking unnecessary hormones?

Taking the prescribed Susten (progesterone) is very important right now. Progesterone is a natural hormone crucial for supporting your uterine lining and securing the pregnancy. Even light bleeding can sometimes suggest your body needs extra hormonal support to prevent a miscarriage. Susten is safe for your baby and is prescribed to protect your pregnancy during this delicate early stage. I gently encourage you to continue taking it as directed, but please share your feelings with your doctor to help ease your mind.

Why hasn't my period started 10 days after taking Susten 300 for 5 days, even though my pregnancy test is negative?

Susten 300 is a progesterone medication, and it is quite common for a withdrawal bleed to take up to 7 to 14 days to start after finishing the course. Since your pregnancy test is negative, this delay is likely just your body taking a little extra time to respond to the hormonal changes. I recommend waiting a few more days. If your period does not start within 14 days of stopping the medication, please reach out to your gynecologist for a simple evaluation.

What are my chances of getting pregnant this cycle if my ultrasounds showed my eggs were released after an hCG injection, my womb lining grew to 14.5mm, I am currently using Susten 200mg, and we had sex daily from day 9 to day 16 of my cycle?

Your parameters look very promising: confirmed ovulation after your hCG injection, perfectly timed intercourse, and a wonderfully receptive womb lining of 14.5mm. Continuing with your Susten (progesterone) support is excellent for helping a fertilized egg implant. At age 27, with such ideal conditions, your chances of conceiving this cycle are very favorable?around 20% to 30%, which is the maximum natural chance per cycle. Try to stay relaxed and positive during this two-week wait.

Is the hormone medication Susten, or other forms of progesterone, banned in the US, and do doctors in India prescribe it too freely without fully considering the side effects?

It is FDA-approved and widely used globally. In India, doctors frequently prescribe it to support early pregnancy and prevent complications. While it is highly beneficial and generally safe, like any medication, it can have mild side effects like drowsiness. Indian physicians prescribe it based on clinical need, but it is always best to discuss your personal history and any concerns about side effects directly with your doctor to ensure you feel completely comfortable with your treatment plan.

How and when should I take my prescribed medications?Susten, Ferium, and Milical?during my 13th week of pregnancy?

Take your Susten (progesterone) at bedtime, as it can cause sleepiness. Your Ferium (iron) is best taken in the morning, ideally with food if it upsets your stomach. Most importantly, take your Milical (calcium) at lunch or dinner. Be sure to keep at least a two-hour gap between your iron and calcium supplements, as calcium can prevent your body from absorbing iron properly. Always follow your doctor's precise instructions.

What are the chances of successful pregnancy in a stimulated fertility cycle (using GMH injections and Progynova) when ovulation is confirmed by free fluid on ultrasound, followed by luteal phase support with Susten SR 300 mg?

Combined with your GMH and Progynova (estradiol) stimulation, and supported by Susten SR (progesterone) to help your uterine lining prepare for implantation, your chances of success are very encouraging. Typically, for a well-monitored, stimulated cycle at your age, the pregnancy success rate is around 15% to 25% per cycle. Try to stay relaxed and gentle with yourself during this two-week wait.
