Is it normal to have thick white discharge after inserting Susten into the vagina during early pregnancy, or could it be a sign of an infection?
Susten contains progesterone, and when inserted vaginally, the capsule shell and unabsorbed medication naturally melt and mix with your normal secretions, causing a thick, white, or chalky discharge. This is a normal part of using this medication. However, if you notice itching, burning, soreness, an unpleasant odor, or a change in color (like green or yellow), it could indicate a mild infection like thrush, which is also common in pregnancy. If those symptoms arise, please let your doctor know, but otherwise, this is expected.
