Can taking Duphaston after a fertility treatment (IUI) delay your period, and is it normal for your period to be late 14 days after ovulation while on this medication?
Yes, it is completely normal. Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a progesterone hormone used to support your uterine lining after IUI. Because progesterone keeps the uterine lining from shedding, it naturally delays your period, even if you are not pregnant. Since you are 14 days post-ovulation, this is the perfect time to take a home pregnancy test. If the test is positive, congratulations! If it is negative, please reach out to your fertility specialist. They will advise you on when to safely stop taking Duphaston, which will allow your period to start in a few days.
