Hello
Thank you for the query.
Duphaston is known to be associated with certain side effects, and hence it is better to use natural micronized progesterone such as Miprogen which was prescribed to you.
Also at 8 weeks, this should be used only if there are any complications like spotting / pain / bleeding / decreased growth of the baby / risk of miscarriage / prior history of miscarriages / IVF conception / twin pregnancy etc.
In absence of these, you need to consult with your obstetrician about need of even Miprogen.
take care.
