Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

According to the study any drug taken prior to 4 weeks of pregnancy has all or none rule. That means that it will give a normal pregnancy or cause abortion. It doesnot cause any congenital abnormality.

Unwanted 72 is considered to be fine if takenjust prior to detection of pregnancy. There is no study reporting any anomalies associated with unwanted72.

So in my opinion , it is fine to continue this pregnancy. Consult a gynaecologist to get your routine blood tests and scan to see for intrauterine pregnancy. Start taking folic acid.

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
