Does fluconazole affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Took fluconazole tablets on April 15th, twice a day. Last menstrual period was on July 12th, conception was approximately on the 27th day. On August 9th, experienced vaginal discomfort and took one Clotrimazole and one Metronidazole. Can I keep this baby?
History of Treatment and Effect: No other treatment has been taken.
What kind of help do you need: Can I keep my baby? Which department should I consult at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Within 1 week after fertilization, if medication is taken, the fertilized egg has not yet implanted in the endometrium and is generally not affected by the drug. If medication is taken within 1 to 2 weeks after fertilization, the fertilized egg has already implanted in the uterine lining, but the tissue has not yet differentiated. The effects of the drug, except for miscarriage, do not cause teratogenesis and are considered a safe period. Therefore, taking some medications before or in the very early stages of pregnancy will not have a significant impact on the fetus, and there is no need to worry excessively. Additionally, you should pay close attention to rest and avoid overexertion, while eating more foods rich in protein.
