Hi,
Duphastone is synthetic progesterone.Progesterone is the pregnancy maintaining harmone.Harmonal imbalance is one of the causes for recurrent abortions.
Since you already have spotting,it may well be another threatened abortion.With the background of your bad obstetric history it may be advisable for you to take duphaston straight away,but an obstetric examination is highly recommended.USG abdomen to confirm the viability of pregnancy.
Wish you a complication free ,safe confinement.
