You should talk to your doctor or gynaecologist about the pain you are experiencing, as they may adjust your Duphaston tablet (dydrogesterone) dosage or suggest an alternative progesterone with fewer side effects, such as Utrogestan. Do not stop or change the Duphaston tablet on your own, especially before IVF, as it is essential for preparing your womb lining.
