Is Susten 200 Recommended To Stop Bleeding During Pregnancy?

Dear Sir,

My pregnancy was confirmed by Pregnancy Strip card test and also by a doctor after EPS scanning. I was in 8th week pregnancy and got light bleeding for three days. I wentup to check with a Doctor and She advised me to take Susten 200( progesterone soft gelatine capsules). I took the tablet after having lunch and after 2 days I am having high bleeding. Pls advise me is this tablet to stop periods or to induce periods..

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the bleeding duing pregnancy is due to various causes like hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency or bleeding from cervix or any low lying placenta.So all the causes need to be evaluated.The progesterone supplement like susten is given if there is suspicion of progesterone insufficiency.Progesterone helps in maintainance of pregnancy but not to induce periods.The bleeding might be due to one of the above causes.So i suggest you to consult doctor and get an examination done and ultrasound also might be helpful to know the pregnancy status.Avoid physical stress and intercourse.Take bed rest.
