Gynac started me on duphaston in early weeks. Im now around 12 weeks and just curious till when do we usually continue it? Some friends stopped early so thoda confused.
You should take Duphaston exactly for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not stop it on your own under any circumstance, as it supports the pregnancy.
My doctor had me on Duphaston till week 12 to secure the pregnancy. I used to swallow it quickly with water and then eat a sweet craving to get rid of the medicine taste! Definitely ask your doc before stopping.
I completely understand the anxiety around taking hormonal pills during pregnancy, I was so scared too! But please trust your gynac on this—they will taper the dose and stop it when it is safe for you.
During my first trimester, I was prescribed this to prevent spotting before my C-section delivery later on. I took it till the 14th week as advised by my doctor. Please follow your doctor's exact instructions.
