Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Duphastone is dydrogesterone a form of progesterone.
This is used in pregnancy when women have bleeding discharge or abdominal cramps (threaten abortion),caused from bad implantation.
Bad implantation may be caused from lack of progesterone.
To fill this storage we give progesterone.
If you havent spotting or abdominal cramps ,i think you dont need for duphastone.
Take care of your self
