Duphaston and IUI: Duphaston is used to support the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (the full cycle lasts on average 28 days) for in vitro fertilization. I am assuming that the attempt failed since you got a period. It is also used to treat heavy bleeding and irregular bleeding. I don't think the two are related except to indicate that the IUI did not take this cycle. Check with your OB to be sure.
