Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Duphaston is synthetic hormone Progesterone, which helps to sustain and maintain pregnancy. It would be ideal to continue its intake till the end of 5 months as advised irrespective of bleeding or spotting.
Since you had spotting issues in the first trimester, kindly continue its intake as advised by your doctor.
Also, get your antenatal check-ups done regularly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
