Hi,
I understand your concern.
Duphaston has hormone progesteron which is essential for maintenance of pregnancy which is growing normally. It does not have any role in weak pregnancy with low HCG( suggesting hampered growth of fetus/ missed abortion/blighted ovum.
Your doctor must of observed/ concluded non survivable/ poor fetal condition in USG/ HCG readings- that's why she did not advise duphaston .
But yes, in cases of repeated abortions- we try to support fetus with duphaston from diagnosing pregnancy itself/ or some times following ovulation in case of planned pregnancy.

Thanks.
