If you took Levaquin on the second day after your period and became pregnant, what should you do?

Patient's question:

I took it during ovulation. I don't know if it will affect the baby, is it dangerous for pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The consequences of medication at different times vary: If medication is taken within 1 week after ovulation, the fertilized egg has not yet implanted in the endometrium, and it is generally unaffected by the drug. If medication is taken within 1–2 weeks after fertilization, the fertilized egg has already implanted in the uterine lining, but the tissue has not yet differentiated. In this case, the effects of the drug, aside from causing miscarriage, do not lead to teratogenesis, making it a safe period. Therefore, taking medication before or in the early stages of pregnancy is unlikely to have a significant impact on the fetus, and there is no need to worry excessively or resort to artificial abortion.
