Brief Answer:
Its better to not delay

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Duphaston is helpful in delaying periods. But delaying periods can also disrupt normal cycles for next 2-3 months. Since you are trying to conceive, I will suggest that you donot disrupt the normal hormonal cycle.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Thats less likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You took duphaston till 25th and then discontinued. It may take anywhere between 4 to 8 days to get period after stopping this agent. Still the period may get delayed further. It is better to let periods happen now on their own. Medicines are only way to delay periods.

Since you are trying to conceive, there is a good chance that you maybe pregnant in this cycle. Unnecessary medicines are avoided when trying to conceive.

Hope its clear. Let me know if I can assist you further.
