I took Duphaston for two days to delay my period, but my period still has not started; is this delay a normal side effect of the medication, or could it be a sign of pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 28 · 9 days ago

Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a progesterone hormone. When you stop taking it, even after just two days, it can temporarily disrupt your body's natural cycle, leading to a delayed period. This is a very common reaction to sudden hormonal changes. However, if you have been sexually active, pregnancy is also a possibility. I gently recommend waiting a few days to see if your period starts naturally. If it does not arrive within a week, taking a simple home pregnancy test will help give you peace of mind.
