Wait for a week after missed periods

Hi,

Since last period was on May 11, you need to wait for a week after XXXXXXX 11 for pregnancy test.

Please get pregnancy test done around XXXXXXX 16th for accurate results. Continue duphaston tablet till XXXXXXX 10 and stop it. If you are pregnant, you will not get periods before 16th XXXXXXX If not pregnant , you will get periods before 16th XXXXXXX

Let meknow if you need anymore help.

Brief Answer:
Dont start duphaston now

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Since it is late to start duphaston now, I dont advice on starting duphaston. Your endometrium lining of 11 mm which is very good and duphaston is not needed for you as of now.
