Patient's question:
I have been taking Dian 35 for half a year and got pregnant after stopping the medication. Could you please tell me if there are any effects on the baby? Are there any adverse consequences?First follow-up question: I got pregnant in the first month after stopping the medication and having my period.
Second follow-up question: How long should I wait after stopping the medication before getting pregnant to be relatively safe?
Doctor's answer:
You may face certain effects if you become pregnant after stopping medication. If you choose to keep the baby, it is recommended to undergo the Down syndrome screening between weeks 14-19 of pregnancy, a four-dimensional ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection between weeks 22-26, and if necessary, an amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis between weeks 16-20. This will help clarify the baby's development inside the womb. Generally, doctors advise women with signs of genetic risks to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing you a healthy delivery.
