Hello dear
Understand your concern
Yes you can take the duphaston during the pregnancy. You can also use suppository like cyclogest for better effect instead of duphaston.
It generally given in high risk pregnancy and in pregnancy with low progesterone level.

Take under the advice of gynecologist and go for regular follow up.
