Is Conception Possible While Taking Duphaston?
Hi, I'm diagnosed with PCOS and have been asked to take Duphaston from the 15th to the 25th day of my cycle. I had unprotected sex on the 16th day of my cycle whilst on Duphaston. Is it possible that I may have conceived or is it not possible to conceive whilst on Duphaston.

Hi, thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..
Duphaston is dydrogesterone which is similar to progesterone. It helps in maintaining pregnancy, luteal phase support and to get withdrawal bleeding once the tablet is stopped. It is not known to cause ovulation.. So you have to get a follicular study to see for ovulation and have a timed intercourse. In case of PCOS, there is chance of not ovulating. In that case you may require ovulation induction and follicular study.. hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
