I would disregard what doc said and go to the ER, bleeding and cramping for 3 days isn't normal and you could be miscarrying. Good luck

i am unable to understand if you are having bleeding and cramping your doctor should have performed an u/s also cervix check because bleeding 12 wks is not really normal until you find a proper solution... and they are not suppose to give you any medication unless its necessary?

This is the info that I've found on it:

Susten is to be given only when there is a documented deficiency of this hormone(progesterone) leading to infertility called inadequate luteal phase infertility. It is only approved for women undergoing IVF or other reproductive techniques. This medicine can result in intrauterine death or spontaneous abortion.
