Patient's question:
Got pregnant, only found out now, but I took birth control pills. Can I still have the baby? Will it cause any interference to the child? Help me take a look at whether there are any problems with this result.Doctor's answer:
For women with a regular menstrual cycle of about 28 days, starting from the first day of the last menstrual period, the effects of medications taken during the periovulatory period on the embryo follow the "all or none" principle. During the early pregnancy period, the embryo is still a cluster of undivided cells and has not yet initiated growth and development toward various organ systems. If the embryotoxic effect of the drug is sufficiently strong, it may cause a natural miscarriage. If the drug's effect is mild, the robust embryo can escape unharmed, and there will be no recurrence of malformations or defects in any organ system.
