Hallow Dear,

Duphaston is a progestational medicine. In fact progesterone is needed for stabilizing the pregnancy and taking it to the term. So rest assured that Duphaston will not cause abortion. If you are having progesterone deficiency due to weak corpus luteum, you will need this medicine to stabilize this pregnancy. Then in such case if you stop Duphaston, your pregnancy might get disturbed.

If you continuously take Duphaston, you will not get your menses even if you are not pregnant, till you discontinue these pills. After stopping them, if you are not pregnant, you will get withdrawal bleeding within 4-7 days.

I hope this resolves your query.
