Hi dear,
the ultrasound report corresponds to the desired growth.
The reletion between duphaston and birth defect may be co incidental. It is a safe and effective drug during pregnancy.
YOu can continue taking the drug. Still, if you have any doubt, you can consult your doctor and change to other medicine
Good luck
