I understand recovering from a wisdom tooth extraction can be uncomfortable, but please be reassured. It is generally very safe to take your Duphaston (dydrogesterone) alongside standard prescribed painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen. There are no known harmful interactions between these medications. To protect your stomach, just be sure to take pain relievers with some food. Always follow the exact dosage instructions provided by your dentist or surgeon.

The dark brown bleeding is simply older blood, which is very common. Since you recently finished your Duphaston (dydrogesterone), this could be the start of your period or, possibly, implantation bleeding, given your journey with infertility. Your PCOS and thyroid levels can also influence your cycle. For management, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test in a few days. For the discomfort, a warm compress and rest can help. Please reach out to your specialist to discuss these symptoms; they can safely guide your next steps and check your hormone levels.

Since it has been about 17 days since your IUI, a negative urine test is likely accurate, but it is not absolute. Sometimes, a blood pregnancy test is needed for definitive confirmation. Since you have finished your Duphaston (dydrogesterone), you can expect your period to start within a few days. I gently recommend contacting your fertility clinic. They will advise on a blood test to be sure and discuss the best next steps for your journey.

Mild, period-like cramping is very common and normal after an IUI procedure. These cramps can also be a side effect of Duphaston (dydrogesterone), which helps support your uterine lining. For relief, try to rest, stay hydrated, and use a warm compress. Please avoid taking anti-inflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen unless approved by your doctor. If your cramping becomes severe, or if you experience heavy bleeding, fever, or dizziness, please contact your fertility clinic right away for advice.

#N/A

Missing a single dose of Duphaston (dydrogesterone) at 11 weeks of pregnancy is very common and highly unlikely to cause any harm to you or your baby. If you just realized, you can take the missed dose now. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, simply skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Please do not take a double dose to make up for it. At 11 weeks, your placenta is actively taking over hormone production. For your peace of mind, feel free to update your doctor, but rest assured that everything is likely just fine.
