Question
I am 25 years old. From the 1st to today, I have taken the birth control pill twice. The other day, I took five capsules of Fu Le Tablet and four capsules of Qing Fei Yi Huo Pian, and had sexual intercourse that night. Now I want to get pregnant. Could these medications affect pregnancy?
Answer
Based on your description, it is generally recommended to avoid taking medication on your own after becoming pregnant. The traditional Chinese medicine you mentioned, if you plan to get pregnant, it is advisable to prepare for prenatal examinations and maintain good living habits, including adequate rest, personal hygiene, regular lifestyle, and avoiding consumption of overly cold or irritating foods. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm. These suggestions are applicable to the question “Can taking fire-reducing medicine affect pregnancy?” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
