Yes, undergoing an IUI and taking hormone medications like Duphaston (dydrogesterone) and Susten SR (progesterone) can definitely delay your period. These progesterone medications are prescribed to support the lining of your womb. By keeping your progesterone levels high, they prevent your period from starting, even if pregnancy hasn't occurred yet. Typically, if you are not pregnant, your period will start a few days after you stop taking these medications. I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test or consulting your doctor for a blood test to get clear answers.

I was recently prescribed Duphaston for irregular periods, but now I am experiencing lower stomach pain and itching when using the bathroom; what should I do, and can I take any other medication for relief?

While Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is helpful for irregular periods, your symptoms of lower stomach pain and itching when using the bathroom could suggest a common urinary tract or yeast infection, which are highly treatable. It is best to consult your healthcare provider to get an accurate diagnosis before starting any new medications. In the meantime, try to drink plenty of water, avoid tight clothing, and use only plain, warm water to gently clean the area. Your doctor will help you safely get back to feeling comfortable.

What should I do if my severe left leg pain has returned and my period has not started seven days after stopping my Visanne tablets to prepare for taking Duphaston and trying to get pregnant?

After stopping Visanne (dienogest), it can sometimes take a little time for your period to return as your body readjusts. However, because you are experiencing severe left leg pain, it is very important to have this evaluated by a doctor promptly to rule out any circulation issues. Please contact your gynecologist or seek medical care right away to ensure you are safe and supported. They can also advise you on the best time to start Duphaston (dydrogesterone).

I am having scans to track my cycle, and my egg has not been released yet; should I still start taking Duphaston on day 16 as prescribed, or should I wait until after my egg is released?

Generally, Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a progesterone medication, and starting it before your egg is released can sometimes prevent or delay ovulation. Because you are having scans to track your cycle, it is usually best to wait to start the medication until after your egg has been released. However, because every fertility plan is unique, I highly recommend contacting your clinic today to confirm if you should delay starting it. They can look at your latest scan and give you the safest, most precise timing.

Is there any chance I could be pregnant if I had unprotected sex but then took Duphaston and got my period a few days later?

While bleeding after taking Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a very reassuring sign that you are likely not pregnant, it is not a 100% guarantee. Sometimes, hormonal fluctuations or early pregnancy can cause light bleeding that is mistaken for a period. To give yourself complete peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test. For the most reliable results, it is best to test 14 to 21 days after the unprotected sex.

Could my missed period, severe gas, and twisting pain in my lower back and lower-left stomach be signs of pregnancy after taking Duphaston for 14 days to treat a cyst?

A missed period, bloating, and lower abdominal or back discomfort can sometimes indicate early pregnancy. However, because you recently took Duphaston (dydrogesterone) for an ovarian cyst, these symptoms could also be related to hormonal changes as your body adjusts, or the cyst itself. I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. If the pain becomes severe or worsens, please contact your doctor right away so they can check on the cyst and ensure you are safe.

Are Duphaston and Jigest the same medication?

Yes, Duphaston and Jigest are essentially the same medication. They both contain the active generic hormone called dydrogesterone, which is used to support your reproductive health or pregnancy. Since they share the exact same active ingredient, they work in the same way within your body. It is very common for different companies to produce the same medicine under different brand names. You can feel completely reassured, but it is always a good practice to let your doctor know if you are switching between brands.
