Hello dear,I understand your concern. It may affect your developing baby if you take it during pregnancy,but your baby can develop normally also, we can not be sure for 100%. You should do 1-2 ultrasound diagnostics to exclude it.
There is a theoritical risks of birth defects mentioned in literature but I have seen many women who were pregnant and had taken primolut-n incidentally, they carry- on with the pregnancy. There was no birth defects in the baby.Start to monitor condition of baby every month.
Please let me know if you have further questions before meeting your primary care Doctor.
