Could stopping Duphaston 10 days after my IUI procedure affect my chances of becoming pregnant?

Asked by Female, 32 · 7 days ago

Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a hormone that helps support your uterine lining for a potential pregnancy. Typically, it is recommended to continue this progesterone support for at least 14 days after your IUI, or until you take a pregnancy test. Stopping it on day 10 could cause your hormone levels to drop, which might lead to early spotting or affect implantation. Please try not to worry, as this can be easily addressed. I gently advise you to contact your fertility specialist right away to see if you should resume the medication or have your hormone levels checked.

I had a miscarriage 4 months ago and underwent a D&C procedure afterward. Since then, I have not been able to conceive again. What could be the possible reasons, and what tests or treatments should I consider?
After a miscarriage and D&C procedure, it may take some time for the body and menstrual cycle to return to normal, so not becoming pregnant again within 4 months does not always mean there is a serious problem. In many women, conception can naturally take several months even after a healthy recovery. Possible reasons for difficulty conceiving may include irregular ovulation, hormonal imbalance, stress, thyroid problems, anaemia, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), low egg quality, infection, or, rarely, scar tissue inside the uterus after a D&C. It is also important to evaluate the male partner if pregnancy is delayed. You should maintain a healthy diet, adequate sleep, regular exercise, and avoid smoking or alcohol if applicable. Tracking ovulation and having regular intercourse during the fertile period may improve chances of conception. Your gynaecologist may advise tests such as thyroid profile, hormone tests, an ultrasound scan, an ovulation assessment, blood sugar tests, and sometimes a test to check whether the fallopian tubes are open. In certain cases, further evaluation of the uterus may be needed to rule out adhesions or scarring after the procedure. Most women are able to conceive successfully after a miscarriage and D&C with proper follow-up and treatment if needed, so try not to lose hope and continue regular consultation with your doctor.
