Since ultrasounds show the pregnancy is unfortunately not viable, stopping supportive therapies like progesterone is generally recommended to allow a natural miscarriage. You can also discuss active medical or surgical options with your doctor to help complete the process safely. Please be reassured that your corpus luteal cyst is a completely normal finding that will resolve on its own. Additionally, your small 2.7 cm fibroid is very common and will not affect your recovery or your ability to have a healthy pregnancy in the future. Please reach out to your healthcare provider, who will support you through your next steps.

Can a two-day delay in a normally regular menstrual cycle indicate pregnancy after confirmed ovulation and subsequent progesterone (Susten 200mg) supplementation?

Yes, a two-day delay can certainly indicate pregnancy, especially after confirmed ovulation. However, it is also very common for progesterone supplementation, like Susten 200mg, to temporarily delay your menstrual cycle. Progesterone supports the uterine lining, and your body may just need a few extra days to adjust after stopping the medication. To give you peace of mind, I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test, as this is the most accurate way to know.

Can I start taking my prescribed Susten 200 on day 16 of my menstrual cycle instead of day 14 to help me get pregnant, or should I wait until next month?

Yes, you can generally start your prescribed Susten 200 (progesterone) on day 16 instead of day 14. In fact, starting progesterone after ovulation has occurred is crucial, as taking it too early can sometimes interfere with ovulation. If your cycle is slightly longer, waiting until day 16 is a very reasonable approach. However, because everyone's cycle is unique, I highly recommend sending a quick message to your doctor to confirm this adjustment aligns perfectly with your specific ovulation pattern. There is no need to wait until next month.

How many days after my IUI (fertility treatment) should I take a home pregnancy test, and should I continue taking Susten if the test is negative on the 15th day?

A negative result on day 15 is generally reliable, but please do not stop taking your Susten (progesterone) just yet. Home tests can occasionally show a false negative if hormone levels are still rising. I warmly recommend contacting your clinic for a blood pregnancy test to be absolutely sure. Your specialist will guide you on whether to safely discontinue Susten based on that result.

How long after taking Susten 300 tablets for five days should my period start, given that my pregnancy test is negative?

It is completely normal to feel a bit anxious while waiting. After finishing your five-day course of Susten 300 (which is progesterone), your period typically starts within 2 to 10 days. Sometimes, it can take up to 14 days for hormone levels to drop and trigger the bleeding. Since your pregnancy test is negative, please try to relax and give your body a few more days to adjust. If your period does not arrive after two full weeks of stopping the medication, I gently recommend reaching out to your doctor for further guidance.

Can natural foods that help the body make progesterone be used instead of Susten SR 300 during early pregnancy?

While incorporating nutrient-rich foods like avocados, nuts, and leafy greens is wonderful for your overall health, they cannot replace Susten SR 300 (progesterone) during early pregnancy. Your doctor prescribed this medication to ensure your body has the precise, stable levels of progesterone needed to support and protect your developing baby. Natural foods cannot provide these high, therapeutic doses. Please do not stop or change your medication without consulting your obstetrician.

Is it safe and correct for someone who is 4 to 5 weeks pregnant to take both Duphaston twice a day and Susten SR 200mg once a day at night, why would a doctor prescribe two different progesterone medications, and are they safe to take along with daily Metformin (750mg), Folic acid, Vitamin D, and Thyronorm 125mg?

Your doctor likely prescribed both Duphaston (dydrogesterone) and Susten SR (progesterone) to provide dual-action hormonal support to secure your pregnancy. This combination is a safe, common clinical practice. These medications are also safe to take alongside your daily Metformin, Folic acid, Vitamin D, and Thyronorm (levothyroxine), which are vital for managing your thyroid, insulin levels, and supporting fetal development. You are doing a wonderful job caring for your health, and it is highly recommended to continue these as prescribed while keeping your obstetrician updated.
