Hello and welcome,

The retro placental clot indicates a threatened abortion. It is difficult to comment upon the prognosis. However many women do well with complete bed rest for 2-3 weeks and micronised progesterone.

If there is no further bleeding then pregnancy will continue without any further issues. I also advise to have a TORCH test done as this is an important cause of abortions.

So please take rest for 2-3 weeks and continue injection susten.
All my best wishes are with you. May you have a safe pregnancy.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
