Brief Answer:
Wait for one week

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is very early for home pregnancy test to be positive.

Another week is required for home pregnancy test to be show positive results.

Stop Duphaston today and wait for a week. If you are not pregnant, you will get periods.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.
