Hi,
Duphaston is Dydrogesterone, a progesterone and is safe for use even in pregnancy. Your doctor might have wanted to test and see if you get a withdrawal bleeding with this medication. This will happen if you are not pregnant and in case pregnancy has been missed in the blood test, use of this medication is safe. This will not affect your ability to conceive as it is helpful in maintaining the endometrium in case of conception. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
