Brief Answer:
Duphaston doesn't interfere ovulation, if dates cross do urine test

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all, it is a very rational treatment given to you , to regularise your irregular cycles.

2 ) Usually Tab Duphaston does not interfere with the process of ovulation, so if you had unprotected sex activity in the cycle and if you have ovulated then you can be pregnant. Please wait till date of your periods. If your periods do not start, then I will suggest you to get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
