Susten injection, containing progesterone, is administered in IVF to support the uterus, preparing it for pregnancy and helping to prevent early miscarriage.
Here's a breakdown of its role:
-
Progesterone Supplementation: During IVF, the natural progesterone production in the body may be insufficient. Susten injection provides a supplemental dose of progesterone to compensate for this deficiency.
-
Uterine Preparation: Progesterone plays a vital role in thickening and preparing the uterine lining (endometrium) for embryo implantation. Susten helps ensure the endometrium is receptive.
-
Pregnancy Maintenance: After embryo transfer, Susten assists in maintaining the pregnancy by supporting the uterine lining and preventing its shedding, which could lead to miscarriage.
-
Prevention of Premature Labor: In some cases, Susten may be used to help prevent premature labor.
In essence, Susten provides the necessary progesterone support to increase the chances of successful implantation and maintain a healthy pregnancy during and after IVF treatment.
