Posted on Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Brief Answer:
no effect

Detailed Answer:
Hello, single dose of anavar will not cause any problems in baby or mother.
There is nothing to worry in that direction.
Try to avoid all kinds of medicines in pregnancy from now on without consulting a doctor.
All the best.

I just went to the OBGYN today and found out that I am about 6-8 weeks pregnant. The anavar was taken about 1.5 weeks ago. I am very worried about this. Are you 100% positive that one dose will not effect the baby?
