hello,
Duphaston is progesterone medication which helps to support pregnancy and avoid miscarriage in early weeks. Therefore, you should continue in prescribed doses as per your doctor's recommendation.
In addition, you take folic acid supplements, protein rich diet, avoid long journey/heavy work, maintain personal hygiene, take adequate rest and undergo one USG scan for detailed feto placental Profile (FPP) . Do periodic check up and suggestive investigations.
If you need further consultation with me, then you can visit http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-soumen-patra/63326.
Take care and wish you for successful motherhood.

Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das.
Look, your description indicates possibility of being it psychological. It is not the side effect of the drug that you are taking.
The drug you are prescribed, is a good drug that prevents miscarriage in early pregnancy days. So, it should be taken. It can be taken till 20 th week.
So, continue the drug.
Regards.
