Sakit and cramping like yours memang common side effect lepas start duphaston, so don't worry, a few of us mums on the forums experience the same thing, especially dalam first 2-3 weeks. Tapi since you're on PCOS treatment dan ada spotting history, better check with your doctor quickly je to rule out anything else, especially if you're wondering about implantation vs period, doctor boleh do a simple test to confirm. The botak issue with Duphaston usually settles down, tapi cramping + lower back pain yang sampai tak tidur tu better not leave hanging, especially when you're trying to conceive. Minyak angin is fine, but paracetamol pun okay kalau doctor approve, depende on your situation. Hang in there, ini adalah part of the journey, tapi jangan tahan-tahan alone, reach out to your gynae!
