Brief Answer:
It safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
NO, FEMILON has natural estrogen and progesterone hormones , so it will not affect the pregnancy at all. It is likely that you became pregnant before starting femilon. So you can safely continue the pregnancy as normal.

Detailed Answer:
tHERE ARE NO SUCH STUDIES THAT says that Femilon if accidentally taken can cause harm to pregnancy in terms of congenital anomalies. However if the foetal heart rate has arrived then likely that foetus is viable else would have caused natural miscarriage due to natural selection of the fittest.
Also there are various check points during pregnancy at 11 weeks , 15 weeks and 20 weeks when any evident anomalies and aneuploidies can be picked. So an advise to terminate the pregnancy is not appropriate.
