Hello
Welcome here.
I understand your concerns.

Susten is a tablet containing progesterone and is generally considered safe in pregnancy.
It's given to many patients who have had abortions in the past.

If you have any history of abortions in past, you should continue with the drug.

It can cause nausea and dizziness in some cases. You can discuss about alternative routes of taking this tablet. Vaginal preparation is also available.

I would also like to tell you that it has negligible side effects on fetus. So not to worry about that.

Do discuss this with your doctor.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
