Patient's question:
I first took Mifeprex in November, but I want to have a baby in December. Can I do that? Will it affect the baby? If it does, how long should I wait before trying? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, for the sake of healthy reproduction, pregnancy after stopping medication for 6 months is considered relatively safe. The body can resume ovulation within 1 to 3 months after stopping medication. Therefore, it is essential to immediately switch to another form of contraception after stopping medication to avoid potential effects of the contraceptive on the fetus, which may cause certain psychological burdens. If pregnancy occurs within 6 months of stopping medication, there is no need to panic. You can proactively seek medical attention, explain the details to a gynecologist, and receive proper management for this pregnancy.If vaginal bleeding or other symptoms appear during the early stages of pregnancy, it may be related to chromosomal abnormalities. In such cases, there is no need to force "preeclampsia" preservation, as miscarriage may be a natural elimination of abnormal embryos. If the pregnancy progresses normally, close monitoring can be conducted, and chromosomal, amniotic fluid, or ultrasound examinations may be performed if necessary. If the test results are normal, the pregnancy can continue with enhanced prenatal care. If the test results are abnormal, termination of pregnancy may be considered.
