Hallow Dear,
Susten 300 is a Progestational medicine.
Throughout the pregnancy, Progesterone is required to maintain the pregnancy. It prevents the uterine contractions and stabilizes the pregnancy.
Probably your doctor might have noticed some factors which might have indicated the possibility of instability of the pregnancy. Therefore he/she must have started Susten 300 to stabilize the pregnancy. So Susten 300 is very safe during pregnancy and necessary in Progesterone deficiency or Pregnancy at risk.
One such factor which may affect your pregnancy is your Thyroid levels. In fact in Thyroid function test, T3, T4 and TSH are evaluated. I believe you have mentioned the level of 7.78 as TSH level.
Yes, 7.78 TSH is high indicating that your Thyroid is functioning low. This may affect the pregnancy and/or baby adversely. Hence, you need to take Levothyroxin throughout the pregnancy. Please get the prescription from your Obstetrician.
I hope this helps you today.
