Missed Doses of Duphaston or Progesterone

Q: Can I take a missed dose of Duphaston?

“Yesterday, the second day after embryo implantation, I forgot to take one tablet of Duphaston at night. I recalled the memory this morning that I did not eat it. Will the lack of progesterone affect embryo implantation? Shall I want to make up for it? But I didn’t take Progesterone injection, I just ate Duphaston, squeezed Crinone progesterone gel, and stuffed Endometrin vaginal tablet. Will the lack of Progesterone affect embryo implantation?”
A: On the same day that you missed your dose, you can take it as soon as you remember. However, if a full day has already passed, there’s no need to take an extra dose. Simply continue with the original dosing schedule.
