Hello,

First of all, do not panic. Sorry to hear about your previous pregnancy losses. The hormone progesterone is a pregnancy-supporting hormone. Susten contains natural micronized progesterone hormone. Your treating doctor has rightly suggested you to use it to support the early pregnancy. Tablet Duphastone contains Dydrogesterone, which is also a progesterone hormone. It is also effective in supporting early pregnancy. You can use any of the preparation. Both are safe and effective in supporting the early pregnancy.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
