After using Siphene (clomiphene) to grow an egg and an HCG injection to release it, your body needs the right environment for pregnancy to succeed. Susten contains progesterone, a vital hormone that prepares and thickens your uterine lining so a fertilized egg can safely implant and grow. In PCOD, our bodies sometimes need a little extra progesterone support during this crucial phase. Think of Susten as preparing a cozy, supportive nest for your potential pregnancy.

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.

However, Duspatan (mebeverine) is generally avoided during pregnancy unless your obstetrician specifically advises that it is necessary for you. Because everyone's health needs are different, please consult your doctor before making any changes to these medications. They will help you plan the safest schedule for you and your little one.

It is completely normal to experience some leakage after using Susten 400 (progesterone) vaginal inserts. This discharge is usually just the melted outer capsule shell, and your body rapidly absorbs the active progesterone it needs, so the leakage won't reduce its effectiveness. While progesterone can often be taken orally, switching routes can change how your body processes the medication and may increase side effects like dizziness or drowsiness. I strongly recommend speaking with your doctor before making any changes to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective for you.

Yes, starting Susten SR 300 (which contains progesterone) on cycle day 15 can indeed delay your period. Progesterone works to support and maintain the lining of your uterus. While you are taking this medication, your hormone levels remain elevated, which typically prevents your period from starting. Usually, menstruation will begin a few days after you stop taking the medication, unless you are pregnant. This is a completely normal and expected effect, so please do not worry. Be sure to follow your doctor's exact guidance on when to stop the medication.

Experiencing light spotting two days before your expected period while taking oral progesterone (Susten 200) is actually quite common. This can happen as your body adjusts to the hormone, or it could be minor breakthrough bleeding. Occasionally, it might also indicate early 'implantation bleeding' if pregnancy is a possibility. I recommend continuing your medication as prescribed and contacting your doctor for guidance. If your period is delayed, a simple home pregnancy test can help provide clear answers. This is a very common occurrence.
