I am reading a number of threads about ladies taking Duphaston during pregnancy. However, that is not the case.
I am going to stop taking Yasmin - does not suit me - and because I am not looking for a contraceptive pill, Dr has informed me to take Duphaston to regulate my period but also to help with my Endometriosis. (Which I am hoping to have it removed ASAP - that's for a different thread).

I want to know the experience that you have for taking Duphaston in relations to Endometriosis. Please share your experience.

I am aware that this is a pregnancy and baby section - but am hoping I get better response than the main forum :)

TIA

I don't know if this help but it is my life with Endometriosis.I have a mild case so never could get pregnant due to blockage of my tubes.Never had surgery to clean it.I lost one tube 3years ago in Ectopic pregnancy caused by Endometriosis.Never took pills but also i heard if i do surgery,chance of getting pregnant is in the first 2years after surgery.Only if there is no blockage in tubes.My case Tubes were issue and if they were going to touch the 2nd tube,my doc said since the tube is very sensitive will cause another tubal pregnancy.Plus if there is blockage inside it they can't touch,what they do is clean the entrance of it.But it is still risky to do it.And there is no garanteed to conceive.I decided to do IVF instead of all and thank God i am pregnant 18weeks.
