Is Duphaston Safe To Be Taken During Pregnancy?

I bled bright red once at 6 week 4 days (Friday). Went to the gynae next day and he prescribed Duphaston twice daily one tab each time. It was all clear on Saturday and after started on Duphaston, I started spotting/discharging brown blood again - spotting on Sunday but much more on Monday (today). Went in for a ultrasound on Sunday night and can still spot fetal heartbeat while foetus has doubled in size since I last checked a week ago. Is my pregnancy still at risk?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Bleeding and spotting during the pregnancy suggests high risk pregnancy.
Bleeding cause should be rule out. Mainly is due to low level of the progesterone and HCG that help in maintaining the pregnancy.
Duphaston contain progesterone. And it is safe ans maintain the pregnancy, reduce the risk of miscarriage and maintain the growth of the pregnancy.
Progesterone vaginal suppository can be used
Sometime HCG injection can be used up to 10 week of the pregnancy.
Along with this you can also take folic acid supplements up to 12 week of pregnancy to promote the growth of baby.
Regular follow up to gynecologist should be required (USG scan) to watch the progress of growth of baby.
Hope this may help you
