Here are the details: Last menstrual period on October 6th, tested negative for pregnancy on November 8th, started taking Jinji tablets (6 tablets × 3 times × day) and Hua Hong tablets (4 tablets × 3 times × day) on November 23rd, for a total of four days. The ingredients are as follows:
Hua Hong tablets: Aconite, White Honeysuckle, Earth Cotton, White Back Tung Oil, Peach Queen, Spergula, and Chicken Blood Vine.
Jinji tablets: Gold Peach Root, Chicken Blood Vine, Thousand-Year-Bamboo,, Dual-Sided Needle, and Andrographis. The excipients include sucrose, talc, magnesium stearate, and edible lemon yellow pigment. Tested positive for pregnancy on the 28th and stopped taking the medication.
Doctor's answer:
Your situation is asking whether taking medication before discovering pregnancy can cause fetal abnormalities. Your situation will not cause any adverse effects, and you can rest assured. Generally, even if medication is taken within the first 50 days of pregnancy, the impact on the embryo is either complete or none. If it's complete, it results in a miscarriage. If it's none, there is no impact at all. There is no middle ground where abnormalities occur, so you can rest assured. As long as the fetus does not experience a miscarriage, there will be no other abnormalities.
