Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the duphaston is a progesterone hormone which supports the endometrium for the implantation.It might not cause delay in periods.As the period is delayed there might be chance of pregnancy.I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test after a week of missed period for accurate results.So relax.Avoid stress.
