Doc started me on duphaston few days back and now noticing thoda spotting. Cant tell if its the tablet or something else, im 7 weeks. Honestly bit tensed, did anyone face this?
I see this question a lot on this group! Yes, Duphaston is progesterone, and slight spotting can happen as the body absorbs the hormones, or it could just be old implantation blood. However, since you are in early pregnancy, please inform your gynac about any spotting just to be safe.
My doctor had prescribed Duphaston too, and I had some tiny brown spotting on day 2. I panicked, but my gynac said it's just the hormones adjusting, so I chilled and ordered my favourite paneer tikka to feel better! If it's heavy though, do call your doctor right away.
Actually, progesterone tablets like Duphaston can sometimes make your body act a bit weird and cause tiny spotting. It's like your hormones are having a little party inside! Just rest and don't worry, but if it starts looking like a period, definitely call your doc.
I had to take Duphaston along with a very strict low-carb diet because of my gestational diabetes. Sometimes minor spotting happens when your hormone levels fluctuate, but please watch your diet and keep your doctor informed. If the spotting increases or you feel cramps, contact your hospital immediately.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and reading up a lot about this, as my doctor also mentioned progesterone support might be needed. From what I've heard, minor spotting can happen when the tablet starts working. Did your doctor mention any other side effects to watch out for?
