Hi,
Duphaston is synthetic progestogen, used for withdrawal periods. But it won't regularize your periods. If you want to conceive, do abdomen scan first to r/o PCOD and then thyroid profile (both can cause irregular periods and infertility).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
