I heard that the WHO has changed their guidelines for the rabies vaccine. It used to need 5 doses, but now I'm not sure what the current recommendation is. Can you shed some light on how many doses are needed now? I'm a bit worried about making sure I follow the right protocol.

Duphaston (Dydrogesterone) is a progesterone medication that can affect menstrual cycles.

Possible Causes of Delayed Periods

1. Hormonal imbalance: Duphaston can alter hormonal balances, potentially delaying periods.
2. Progesterone's effect: Progesterone can prolong the luteal phase, leading to delayed periods.
3. Individual response: Everyone's body reacts differently to medications, and some women may experience delayed periods due to Duphaston.

What to Expect

1. Wait a few more days: If you've taken Duphaston for 10 days, wait a few more days to see if your period starts.
2. Consult your doctor: If your period doesn't start within the next 7-10 days, consult your doctor to discuss further management.

Remember

1. Duphaston is not a contraceptive: It's essential to use contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy.
2. Monitor your body: Pay attention to any changes in your body, such as spotting, cramping, or breast tenderness.
