Brief Answer:
Yes. You can have a normal conception.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The delay in periods is a normal finding after starting with the birth control patch. If the second test also is negative then pregnancy is ruled out. Taking Duphaston after that will not affect your future pregnancy. The fertility is reversible after you stop using the contraception.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Yes. Pregnancy is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Yes you can get pregnant normally without any future consequences. Even if you get pregnant this time you can enjoy your daily coffee. You will have to limit your caffeine intake to 200mg a day. This amounts to about two cups of instant coffee or one and a half cups of filtered coffee (for cups of 200ml in size).
Hope my answer is helpful.
