Not sure of question: If you are asking should you stop Duphaston because you are now pregnant?  The answer is no.  Call your doctor immediately.  It depends on why you were given duphaston.  Duphaston is a progesterone.  It is used to treat conditions like recurrent miscarriages and something called luteal phase defect.

Question 5

does withdrawal bleeding after duphaston means no pregnancy? i got heavy bleeding for 2 days and light/spotting bleeding for 3 days?

Accepted Answer

: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

Question 6

in 8th week of first pregnancy,lmp 17/11/22.had little brown color spotting on 28/12,doctor advised susten sr 300mg once in night since 30/12. had spotting again 2-3 times in last 10 days so today doctor said to take duphaston 10mg twice plus susten?

Accepted Answer

: Unfortunately, miscarriages are common in early pregnancy and the chance that these medications will help prevent one is extremely small. However there is probably no harm in them either. My personal opinion and experience is that they are a waste of time and money.

Question 7

what is the use of duphaston 10mg during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Progestin: Dydrogesterone is a steroidal progestin used for Progesterone deficiency. It has reportedly been used off –label for threatened abortion & “habitual” abortion.

Question 8

should i test for pregnancy before stopping duphaston ?

Accepted Answer

Well: U are likely not pregnant if using the Progesterone regularly.  The confusion must be about it's use to support early pregnancy.  You can always check a upt but if u stopped it and was pregnant it likely wouldn't make u lose the pregnancy.  You may bleed after but you do not need to check a upt before stopping but if u r going to be worried just check 1, gd luck.

Question 9
