Brief Answer:
Susten is progesterone

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Susten is progesterone which is given to make the uterine environment more favourable for conception.
It is given to facilitate implantation, if the conception occurs.
It is safe to take this in pregnancy.
