Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Antifungal medications are generally not recommended in early pregnancy, however you don't even have a fetus until 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. You had just conceived when you took the medication so it was much too early an exposure to have any effect on the baby.
So I hope I was able to reassure you and that you have a healthy pregnancy.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
