Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Duphaston is brand name of dydrogesterone, which is a synthetic progesterone.
It is prescribed in luteal insufficiency to help in formation of secretory endometrium and in implantation of ovum.
Duphaston can be taken during pregnancy also, as it helps in maintenance of pregnancy.
Brown discharge of few drops could be due to implantation of fertilized ovum.
urine pregnancy test kits sometimes may not detect pregnancy immediately after missed period. But blood test for pregnancy, which is more sensitive can detect. So you go for that after consulting your doctor. You need not disappoint for this, Confirm your pregnancy first.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
