Brief Answer:
Stop Susten. Its no longer required

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about susten.

Following is my reply:

1) Susten is a medicine containing progesterone hromone to support pregnancy during initial days. It is not necessary to be taken for so long.

2) Please stop susten immediately. It will not kill your baby.

3) Your body at this stage will produce enough progesterone hormone to support baby growth and you dont need susten.

4) You dont need to worry about any warning signs.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
