Better avoid to get pregnant this month

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using "Ask a doctor"

It is recommended to avoid getting pregnant and use contraception until approximately one week after the last dose of fluconazole. So yes, better avoid getting pregnant this month. The use of oral fluconazole has been proven to cause birth defects.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
