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.

Faint and fading lines on a pregnancy test can be confusing, especially after finishing Susten SR (progesterone) and taking Folvite (folic acid) for PCOD. A faint line often indicates early pregnancy, but a fading line could mean fluctuating hormone levels or a very early pregnancy loss. To get an accurate picture of what is happening, please consult your gynecologist to get a quantitative beta-hCG blood test, which measures the exact level of pregnancy hormone in your blood. They will guide you on the best next steps and check if you need further progesterone support.

Yes, if you are not pregnant, you will still get your period. After you finish your 10-day course of Susten (progesterone), your hormone levels will drop, which typically triggers a withdrawal bleed (your period) within 2 to 10 days. Since you ovulated on day 20, the best time to take a home pregnancy test is 14 days after ovulation (around day 34 of your cycle), or a day or two after completing your Susten course. This will give you the most accurate and reliable result.

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.

Experiencing mild pain during intercourse after your fertility medications (like Susten progesterone) and trigger injection is relatively common and generally does not reduce your chances of conception or harm a potential pregnancy. These medications and the injection stimulate your ovaries and alter hormone levels, which can temporarily cause pelvic tenderness, bloating, or vaginal dryness, leading to discomfort. Please rest assured that this pain itself won't affect fertilization. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by heavy bloating, nausea, or fever, please contact your doctor right away to ensure your safety and comfort.

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.
