Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Please dont worry because stress itself causes problem with fertility. So relax and dont take tension..

Bleeding can be due to 2 reasons.
First it can be implantation bleed which occurs at the time fertilised ovum gets implanted onto the uterus. This is a good sign.
Secondly it can be due to the onset of periods which appears as such due to susten tablet. Susten is a progesterone tablet which supports pregnancy.
Bleeding can also be due to abortion.

Donot worry. Let us hope for the best. Get a hcg test tomorrow. Value greater than 25 indicates positive pregnancy. Continue susten if pregnancy positive. Get a scan done with your treating doctor..

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask any doubts. Good day..
