It depends on your levels. Typically, progesterone is taken from the very beginning of pregnancy (sometimes before) until about 12 weeks, when the placenta takes over the functions of the ovaries. Frequent blood draws will indicate when you can begin weaning off the progesterone.

What happens if duphaston is taken during the pregnancy?

Duphaston is the brand name given to it by the company. The name of the medicine is a hormone called dydrogesterone (progesterone). This product is indicated in women trying to conceive if there is proven, documented deficiency of the progesterone hormone (during luteal phase). Once conception has taken place, progesterone hormone is indicated only in pregnanices due to assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF etc. or in cases of habitual abortion (repeated miscarriages). Misuse and overuse of progesterone can lead to a number of side effects including fetal death and spontaneous abortion (more so in the first three months of gestation), musculanisation of female fetus (such as unwanted hair on face), birth defects in babies such as cleft palate and heart defects. Therefore in the United States, the use of progesterone during "known or suspected pregnancy" is banned. During pregnancy, one should take the most minimal mandatory medicines such as folic acid 5mg daily (such as Folet). If there is anaemia, then one should take an iron preparation along with folic acid (such as Probofex), one capsule a day.


If progesterone levels look good at first in early pregnancy how long would it take to notice a steady decline and treat with supplements to maintain the pregnancy?

Progesterone levels usually aren't checked after the 10th week, as the placenta takes over from there. If you are concerned about your levels dropping, blood tests every 2-3 days can be performed and if needed, supplements can be added. The supplements take effect very quickly.
