How long should I continue taking Duphaston to regulate my periods, and is it normal for my period to be delayed after finishing my second cycle of the medication?
It is very common to feel a bit anxious when your cycle doesn't go exactly as expected. Typically, Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is prescribed for 3 to 6 cycles to help regulate periods. After finishing a treatment cycle, your period should start within 3 to 10 days. A slight delay after your second cycle can be normal as your body adjusts to the hormone. However, since a delay can also indicate pregnancy, I gently suggest taking a home pregnancy test. If it is negative and your period is delayed by more than two weeks, please consult your doctor to discuss your next steps.
