Look, standard biology says you are most fertile mid-cycle. But irregular periods mean ovulation can happen anytime, even right before your expected date. If you missed your period, just do a home test.

When I was staying at my mom's place, my mother told me that small spotting can sometimes happen due to body heat or minor strain. But she immediately took me to our family gynac to make sure the baby was safe. Please do consult your doctor without any delay.

I know how stressful it is to be on progesterone support like Susten and constantly worry about when it will stop. Honestly, my doctor had me stop it around the 12th week and everything went smoothly. Just trust your doctor, they know what is best for you and your baby.

When I was prescribed these at Fortis, my consultant explained that they really help with hormonal balance. You should definitely ask your doctor or the clinic staff to give you a proper schedule sheet. They are very supportive and will clear all your doubts.

Honestly, there is no way to know this legally in India, and it's best to focus on your health instead. I just concentrate on my prenatal yoga and walking as allowed by my doctor to stay fit for delivery.
