What Causes Brown Spotting After Taking Duphaston?
Question: As I was told to have Duphaston for 7 days to adjust my irregular period. But when day 5, I had brown spotting is it a side effect of the pill or Im pregnant? Or is it a side effect of the morning pill I took 2 months ago. I did the blood test but from the result I wasn't pregnant or I took the test too early but my period was almost 20 days late (as im not sure because of the irregular period cycle)when I took the test.

Hi Dr. Thank you for your reply
My last menstrual period was 13-17 Feb. I don't know about the cycle length as I always have irregular menstrual cycle but the duration would be 5-6 days mostly.
I took the morning after pill on 29 Dec 2015. I took the blood test on 22 March also the first date that I started taking Duphaston. I had the spotting since 26 March until now, but it seems more like a period today than it was on 26 March.
The last unprotected sex was 29 XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
You have irregular cycles, so the delayed period is because of that.
And most probably, this is your period.
A period normally starts after finishing the course of Duphaston, but for you, it started while you were taking the tablets.
Do not take the rest of the Duphaston pills now.
This will be your period.
Dont worry anymore.
Avoid unprotected sex in future, and the intake of the morning after pill, as it leads to irregular periods.
Take care.
