How Does Taking Heroin Prior To Conception Affect Pregnancy?
I recently found out I was pregnant. my lmp was the 11th and was two days late from the previous month. from the week of the 13th to the 23rd I was using heroin pretty heavily but I am not a regular user. Is it more likely that I ovulated in a timely manner and during that week I was using or that it was delayed like the previous month and I conceived when I was sober? My positive test was on the 12th of this month and was a very faint positive if that makes a difference.

HI
Well come to HCM
You need to confirmed the pregnancy for sure and best way to do this is ultrasonography test if this is positive then it is better to stop the narcotic else baby would be in danger, and one more thing in case of positive pregnancy with the history of narcotic you need to be in follow up regularly, if pregnancy is not there then also you have to stop the narcotic, hope this helps, take care.
