hi
thanks for choosig hcm,
were you diagnosed to have pcod
if yes the reason that you are not geeting pregnancy is due to anovulation or oligo ovulation i.e no egg production or less production
if you are obese you may need to take metformin tablets....talk to your doctor about this
duphaston helps you to regularise your periods by causing withdrawl bleeding
and yes withdrawl bleeding may have all the features that you mentioned
if in case you concieve ,the same duphaston helps you to maintain pregnancy
and avoid miscarriage
it also helps in balancing hormonal levels
so your periods are normal
do not worry
pregnancy test may not be needed
if you still have doubt .....you cAN take home pregnancy test
hope i answered your query
thank you

Hello,
Duphaston is a progesterone given in infertility as a supportive drug for luteal phase in IVF, to prevent preterm labor and treatment of recuurent pregnancy loss. Firstly, you did not mention when you had the spotting. Moreover, the cause of your irregular periods has to be established through investigations. It is common for intermittent spotting if breakthrough occurs during the course of hormonal treatment. You need not worry as your condition can be handled easily, but, I suggest you see a proper doctor who can assess your condition before prescribing any medication. Take care.
