However, stopping Duphaston (dydrogesterone) after five months can also cause temporary hormonal fluctuations that delay your menstrual cycle. To help clarify what is happening, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test, which is the easiest first step. If the test is negative and your period still does not arrive within a week, please reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss your next steps.

Aspirin helps improve blood flow to the placenta, preventing tiny blood clots. Susten (which is progesterone) and Duphaston (dydrogesterone) are hormonal supports that strengthen your uterine lining, helping the pregnancy hold on securely. Together, they create the safest possible environment for your baby. Please discuss your feelings with your doctor, but rest assured these are commonly prescribed to support you and give you the best chance for a healthy pregnancy.

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.

In the 8th month of pregnancy, you should not start or continue Duphaston 10 mg on your own unless your doctor has specifically advised it, as it is usually given earlier in pregnancy for hormonal support. It will not help with headache or back pain. For those symptoms, rest, hydration, posture care, and a safe pain reliever like Paracetamol (if suitable) are better options. Please consult your doctor to confirm whether you need to continue Duphaston and to evaluate your pain properly.

After finishing Duphaston (dydrogesterone), it is very common for your period to take anywhere from 3 to 10 days to start. Since it has only been six days, your body is likely still adjusting to the hormone shift. If your period does not arrive within 10 to 14 days after your last tablet, I recommend reaching out to your gynecologist. They can easily evaluate your hormone levels and guide you on the next steps for your PCOD.

Taking Duphaston (dydrogesterone) for five days will likely alter your timing. Generally, after you finish the five-day course, your period will arrive within two to seven days as hormone levels drop. If you do not wish to delay or alter your current cycle at all, it might be best to hold off on starting it. I highly recommend discussing your specific goals with your doctor so they can tailor the treatment to your needs.
