Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Susten is natural micronized progesterone.
It helps in maintainance of pregnancy and in preventing miscarriage.
The period the tablet to be taken depends on individual gestational history.
Usually tablets can be stopped after first trimester.
But sometimes it may need to be continued till the fetus achieves viability.
As it is a natural micronized progesterone, there may not be any major side effects.
Usually ultrasound waves will not produce radiation.
So, generally undergoing ultrasound for limited number of times and for limited period of time doesn't affect the baby.
Take care.
