Yes, it is completely normal. Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a progesterone hormone used to support your uterine lining after IUI. Because progesterone keeps the uterine lining from shedding, it naturally delays your period, even if you are not pregnant. Since you are 14 days post-ovulation, this is the perfect time to take a home pregnancy test. If the test is positive, congratulations! If it is negative, please reach out to your fertility specialist. They will advise you on when to safely stop taking Duphaston, which will allow your period to start in a few days.

Since your typical cycle is longer (40?45 days), ovulation can naturally occur much later. Your womb lining of 9.1 mm is beautifully thick, which is a wonderful sign. Because you took Diva HMG (menotropin) and the follicle is currently at 13mm, your ovaries might just need more time, or your specialist may adjust your protocol. The pelvic fluid is also a common, often benign finding. Please hold off on Duphaston (dydrogesterone) for now. Your best next step is to consult your fertility specialist to discuss another ultrasound tracking scan or next steps.

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.

A missed period, bloating, and lower abdominal or back discomfort can sometimes indicate early pregnancy. However, because you recently took Duphaston (dydrogesterone) for an ovarian cyst, these symptoms could also be related to hormonal changes as your body adjusts, or the cyst itself. I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. If the pain becomes severe or worsens, please contact your doctor right away so they can check on the cyst and ensure you are safe.

It is completely normal not to feel any symptoms at this stage, so please try not to worry. You should wait at least 14 days after your IUI procedure to take a pregnancy test for the most accurate result. Regarding Duphaston (dydrogesterone), it is commonly prescribed for 10 to 14 days to support the uterine lining. However, please do not stop taking it without consulting your fertility specialist, as they will advise you on the next steps based on your pregnancy test results.

Duphaston and Jigest contain the exact same active ingredient, dydrogesterone (10mg). Because they are therapeutically equivalent, Jigest is a safe and effective substitute to help support your pregnancy. However, because your health and peace of mind are so important, I highly recommend quickly confirming this switch with your obstetrician before changing your medication. Your doctor knows your history best and is there to support you every step of the way.
