Can Duphaston Have Negative Effect On Growing Fetus?

Hello Doctor, I am 4 weeks pregnant now. I had slide spoting with yellowish + brownish colour for past one day.I went to see a O&G specialist, he checked and scanned me but unable to find the womb in uteres. My urine shows positive result. He suggested me to duphaston. Intially as per my count I just missed my period in last 4 days. I am worried now does the duphaston will efect my baby if I'm in normal pregnancy process.

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It is not possible to visualize the gestation sac or fetus in ultrasound at 4 weeks of pregnancy, as it is too early. However, the urine pregnancy test comes positive at 4 weeks.
Duphastone is progesterone which supports the pregnancy by making uterine environment more favourable for foetus. It has no known harmful effect on the foetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
