Is Duphaston effective for conceiving?
Patient: I have under gone laproscopic myomectomy in july 2010. Now we are trying to conceive. I am suggested to take tab. Siphene twice a day from day 3 to day 5. From day 16th I have to take tab.Duphaston twice a day till day 25th. Kindly tell me how is it going to help? Doctor: Hi,For pregnancy, you need to have addressed male factor, ovarian factor, tubal factor and uterine factor.I am assuming that all these have been checked and are OK.Siphene (Clomiphene) is given when we are anticipating ovarian problems, if you have not been diagnosed with PCOS or ovulation problem, taking Clomiphene will not increase your chances of pregnancy. Duphaston can be given to help implantation, but as such has no role.Please consult a infertility specialist and do not take siphene empirically without a clear diagnosis. As every medicine has side effects which have to be discuuused.Hope this helps.Regards.
